Add round options, but I think can also add floor, ceiling, etc. And
the default mode is trunc.

* Implement fish_wcstod_underscores
* Add fish_wcstod_underscores unit tests
* Switch to using fish_wcstod_underscores in tinyexpr
* Add tests for math builtin underscore separator functionality
* Add documentation for underscore separators for math builtin
* Add a changelog entry for underscore numeric separators
Includes harmonizing the display of options and arguments, standardising
terminology, using the envvar directive more broadly, adding help options to all
commands that support them, simplifying some language, and tidying up multiple
formatting issues.
string documentation is not changed.
Recent synopsis changes move from literal code blocks to
[RST line blocks]. This does not translate well to HTML: it's not
rendered in monospace, so aligment is lost. Additionally, we don't
get syntax highlighting in HTML, which adds differences to our code
samples which are highlighted.
We hard-wrap synopsis lines (like code blocks). To align continuation
lines in manpages we need [backslashes in weird places]. Combined with
the **, *, and `` markup, it's a bit hard to get the alignment right.
Fix these by moving synopsis sources back to code blocks and compute
HTML syntax highlighting and manpage markup with a custom Sphinx
extension.
The new Pygments lexer can tokenize a synopsis and assign the various
highlighting roles, which closely matches fish's syntax highlighing:
- command/keyword (dark blue)
- parameter (light blue)
- operator like and/or/not/&&/|| (cyan)
- grammar metacharacter (black)
For manpage output, we don't project the fish syntax highlighting
but follow the markup convention in GNU's man(1):
bold text type exactly as shown.
italic text replace with appropriate argument.
To make it easy to separate these two automatically, formalize that
(italic) placeholders must be uppercase; while all lowercase text is
interpreted literally (so rendered bold).
This makes manpages more consistent, see string-join(1) and and(1).
Implementation notes:
Since we want manpage formatting but Sphinx's Pygments highlighing
plugin does not support manpage output, add our custom "synopsis"
directive. This directive parses differently when manpage output is
specified. This means that the HTML and manpage build processes must
not share a cache, because the parsed doctrees are cached. Work around
this by using separate cache locations for build targets "sphinx-docs"
(which creates HTML) and "sphinx-manpages". A better solution would
be to only override Sphinx's ManualPageBuilder but that would take a
bit more code (ideally we could override ManualPageWriter but Sphinx
4.3.2 doesn't really support that).
---
Alternative solution: stick with line blocks but use roles like
:command: or :option: (or custom ones). While this would make it
possible to produce HTML that is consistent with code blocks (by adding
a bit of CSS), the source would look uglier and is harder to maintain.
(Let's say we want to add custom formatting to the [|] metacharacters
in HTML. This is much easier with the proposed patch.)

The ellipsis is a grammar metacharacter, just like the []()|.
Write *FOO*… instead of *FOO…*, so the ellipsis is not underlined
in the man page. Not super sure about this one.
This matches the style in man(1) (except that we use the … ligature).
A previous iteration did the reverse (never use a space before the
ellipsis). That would be a smaller change.
The -- is not special here and we don't mention it in other synopses.
It was originally added for a good reason in 98449fec5 (fix `math`
regression, 2017-07-14), along this addition to math.rst:
> You should always place a `--` flag separator before the expression. [...]
However, since 56d913453 (Cache math expressions, 2017-08-24) that
line was changed to
> You don't need to use `--` before the expression even if it begins with a minus sign [...]
* math: Make function parentheses optional
It's a bit annoying to use parentheses here because that requires
quoting or escaping.
This allows the parens to be omitted, so
math sin pi
is the same as
math 'sin(pi)'
Function calls have the lowest precedence, so
math sin 2 + 6
is the same as
math 'sin(2 + 6)'

Call me Nikola Testla
Currently a bit limited, unfortunately printf's `%a` specifier is
absolutely unreadable.
So we add `hex` and `octal` with `0x` and `0` prefixes respectively,
and also take a number but currently only allow 16 and 8.
The output is truncated to integer, so scale values other than 0 are
invalid and 0 is implied.
The docs mention this may change.
Just as `math "bitand(5,3)"` and `math "bitor(6,2)"`.
These cast to long long before doing their thing,
so they truncate to an integer, producing weird results with floats.
That's to be expected because float representation is *very*
different, and performing bitwise operations on floats feels quite useless.
Fixes#7281.
Was: "parameter expansion takes before expressions are evaluated."
Now: "parameter expansion happens before expressions are evaluated."
I suspect the original intent was to use "takes place," but I see "happens" as less idiomatic and therefore may benefit non-English-native users.
