But this makes discovering who the author of some code is (svn blame, git blame, etc.) much harder. Which means it will not be allowed.

Do you really need to match any number of \r > characters? I would be afraid that there's too much potential here for breaking things. The tag search pattern can be an arbitrarily complicated regular expression. This means that in order not to break it I would have to half-intelligently interpret it. I wouldn't like to do it for two reasons: 1. not doing it right and breaking things for some people, 2. introducing some more than basic RE-related logic outside RE code. Vim is already difficult to maintain because of all these global variables. I don't want to make it any harder. Thanks for this discussion. I'm afraid it leads nowhere as Bram already decided the target audience is too small to bother. -- Lech Lorens -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
