support +line[,column] and filename:line:column syntaxes when opening files
* This is done via the new opener.tes in the standard library.
* Some programs that use $EDITOR expect the +line syntax to work.
* You can copy filename:line:column directly from GCC error messages
and filename:line from grep output.
* Since there may be safe file names beginning with "+" or containing colons,
there needs to be a way to turn this off, especially for scripts that don't
know anything about the filenames to open.
This is done with "--".
Unfortunately, the first "--", that stops parameter processing,
is always removed from the command line and not passed down into TECO land.
This is not a problem for stand-alone scripts,
since the script filename is already stopping option processing, so "--"
would get passed down.
But when calling the profile via `sciteco -- ...`, you could prevent leading
minus signs to cause problems but since the `--` is removed, opener.tes cannot
use it as a hint.
Therefore, we introduced `-S` as a new alternative to `--`, that's always passed
down as `--` (i.e. it is equivalent to "-- --").
In other words, `sciteco -S *` will always open exactly the specified files
without any danger of misinterpreting certain file names.
Should we ever switch to a custom option parsing algorithm, we might preserve
"--" (unless after --mung) and thus get rid of "-S".
* This advanced behavior can be tweaked by the user relatively easily.
In the easiest case, we could replace M[opener] with
<:L;R 0X.f [* @EB/^EN.f/ ]* L>
in ~/.teco_ini to completely disable the special syntax.
