_zsh_highlight_add_highlight appends to region_highlight $1 $2 and the
next non-null parameter. If there is no non-null parameter, do nothing,
This is so that highlighters can add a style with fallbacks if the most
specific style is not defined. If none of the applicable styles are
defined, do the right thing and don't add an invalid entry to
region_highlight.
The pattern highlighter doesn't use this function as it'd need too large
of an API change.
Compute «${#BUFFER}» just once. I haven't measured the effect of this, but
it might just avoid a strlen() every time around the loop, which could add
up for large ${BUFFER}s.
See issue #295.
All these files should be sourced, not executed; and Debian's lintian complains:
W: zsh-syntax-highlighting: script-not-executable usr/share/zsh-syntax-highlighting/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh
* Don't override user defined styles
* Better modularisation of highlighters
* Allow to define which highlighters are activated
* Allow to define the order in which they are defined
* Minor performance optimizations
* Fixed some variables leak
* Improve documentation
* Brackets highlighter: use ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_STYLES instead of a specific array
