Well, according to the most widely accepted conventions in English grammar, quotes always come after the period, exclamation point, or question mark. So, the following:
This is a "sentence." This is a sentence. would be considered two correct and completely separate sentences. The documentation under ":h sentence" defines a sentence in the correct way, and my patch is an attempt to bring the sentence text object in line with the prevailing English grammar rules and with the Vim documentation. It's difficult to say, here, because we so often write English text *about* source code. In technical writing we often need to quote very specific terms that have '.' characters in them in odd places (note what I just did there). With quotes, us technical writers are saying: "I mean EXACTLY THIS and not something else." This is different from what writers do in quoting discourse. This is why I can understand your thinking that This is a "sentence." This is a sentence. should be considered one "sentence." In either case, one of them is incorrect! I carefully followed the rules here, so I still contend that my patch is valid. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
