--inherit-variable takes a variable name and snapshots its current
value. When the function is executed, it will have a local variable with
this value already defined. Printing the function source will include
synthesized `set -l` lines for the values.
This is primarily useful for functions that are created on the fly, such
as in `psub`.
Rework for Doxygen >1.8. Moved large parts of the documentation to a
simplified format, making use of Markdown enhancements and fixing bad
long options.
Add the --wraps option to 'complete' and 'function'. This allows a
command to (recursively) inherit the completions of a wrapped command.
Fixes#393.
When evaluating a completion, we inspect the entire "wrap chain" for a
command, i.e. we follow the sequence of wrapping until we either hit a
loop (which we silently ignore) or the end of the chain. We then
evaluate completions as if the wrapping command were substituted with
the wrapped command. Currently this only works for commands, i.e.
'complete --command gco --wraps git\ checkout' won't work (that would
seem to encroaching on abbreviations anyways). It might be useful to
show an error message for that case.
The commandline builtin reflects the commandline with the wrapped
command substituted in, so e.g. git completions (which inspect the
command line) will just work. This sort of command line munging is
also performed by 'complete -C' so it's not totally without precedent.
'alias will also now mark its generated function as wrapping the
'target.
plus speling in documentation for bind.
Note that this commit does not re-enable the generation of the manpage for
test, which will therefore still fall through to the system manual page with
`man test`.
Large list of changes, including formatting and typos for most commands.
More substantive changes have been made to alias, bind, block, break,
builtin, case, cd, commandline, count, else, emit, fish_config, funced,
function, functions, history, math, mimedb, nextd, not, popd, prevd,
pushd, pwd, random, read, set, set_color, switch, test, trap, type,
ulimit, umask, and while.
