How about a combination of the two? Quickly approve the concept of configurable TODOs (on this list, by Bram), mention this in :help 44.12 (Portable syntax file layout) with an appropriate example snippet, and syntax plugin authors will pick this up. (Realistically, some sooner, many later, a lot never). Depending on which syntaxes you use, you'll like cover widespread (updated) syntaxes ones with the new, single-place configuration, and only have to implement special overrides for the (gradually shrinking) remainder (and can encourage those authors to adopt the new config, best with a simple patch). - -- regards, ingo -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJVr+68AAoJEA7ziXlAzQ/vpQQH/2GOPqeO/tpbmGuEixJ+cmF2 XoLZUgaaZmIpRI0f9oga7aBxKB0w1W+JUcvU6ljh3YaSNAnOJcoEjDHyUJ8emOfU 70tmam1pCo/OLxx8mH4NXAob+5ykx2UxfHSyvj2LXTEr0ruIspAqlKkIqLL4evLS b7bBoA7RxvZNq/Qs8kjqfI+VA0Wje5+pOqGNt2JtwXZngphMsNRbBgYS9UFP3hvm psYUnk49WvGcftHTUZhjBA2MbX59EzfvcaOAl+cion0SY2ODOf/OvJX1bv96rVOH 4diF/G/570fuifDgeCUPS5VpQG+aeVmlQ0tlBfnw/DIVWf/r0AjYExXaBfonb4Y= =EoHo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
