special Q-registers ^Ax
* The unnamed buffer is also used for reading from --stdin, so you couldn't practically combine
--stdin with passing command-line arguments to macros.
* The old approach of passing command-line arguments via lines in the
unnamed buffer was flawed anyway as it wouldn't work with filenames containing LF.
This is just a very ancient feature, written when there weren't even long Q-reg names in SciTECO.
* You can now e.g. pipe into SciTECO and edit what was read interactively, e.g. `dmesg | sciteco -i`.
You can practically use SciTECO as a pager.
* htbl.tes is now a command-line filter (uses -qio).
* grosciteco.tes reads Troff intermediate code from stdin, so we no longer need
"*.intermediate" temporary files.
* added a getopt.tes test case to the testsuite.
* This change unfortunately breaks most macros accepting command-line arguments,
even if they used getopt.tes.
It also requires updating ~/.teco_ini - see fallback.teco_ini.

* After detecting +line[,column] constructs, the next argument is not parsed as a potential
filename:line[:column] construct.
* This code turned out to be tricky to get right, so I added a test case.
Standard library modules can well be checked in the test suite since
we have $SCITECOPATH pointing to the source tree's lib/ directory.
* Make sure that relevant variables from atlocal.in are really exported into the
process environment.
This was also broken for the Glib debug options.

The trailing digits where cut off the filename.
E.g. when trying `sciteco test.f77:100`, we would open test.f on line 100 instead.

the beginning of words now
* All commands and their documentations were inconsistent.
* ^W rubbed out to the beginning of words.
* Shift+Right (fnkeys.tes) moved to the beginning of the next word if
invoked at the beginning of a word and to the end of the next word otherwise.
* <W> (and <V> and <Y> by extension) moved to the end of the next word.
* The cheat sheet would claim that <W> moves to the beginning of the next word.
* Video TECO's <W> command would differ again from everything else.
With positive arguments, it moved to the beginning of words, while
with negative it moved to end of words.
I decided not to copy this behavior.
* It has been decided to adopt a consistent beginning-of-words policy.
-W therefore differs from Video TECO in moving to the beginning of the
current or previous word.
* teco_find_words() is now based on parsing the document pointer, instead
of relying on SCI_WORDENDPOSITION, since the latter cannot actually be
used to skip strictly non-word characters.
This requires a constant amount of Scintilla messages but will require fewer
messages only when moving for more than 3 words.
* The semantics of <W> are therefore now consistent with Vim and Emacs as well.
* Shift+Right/Left is still based on SCI_WORDENDPOSITION, so it's behavior
differs slightly from <W> for instance at the end of lines, as it will
stop at linebreaks.
* Unfortunately, these changes will break lots of macros, among others
the M#rf, M#sp and git.blame macros ("Useful macros" from the wiki).

* 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.
