d640e0d0d6 docs/language: Some slight tweaks
It reads nicer to not have the "see also" thing right in the first
paragraph. I'm not even done reading this, why are you sending me
elsewhere?

(of course if it's a hotlink on a specific word that's different)

37b0f4dabc Document escape of new lines
I'm not sure if line continuations are covered anywhere else in the docs, but I
think the escapes section of the language page is a good place to mention them.

e3c67ae229 Reword debugging section in language docs
- Clean up the wording a little.
- Highlight the limitations of the "debugger" more clearly and don't mislead
  people into thinking it's possible to really interactively set/remove
  breakpoints except in select circumstances.

Sidenote: I can't believe we're using a markup language that doesn't support
nested inline markup. What a crying shame, rST!

d7f36fab44 docs: Fix some of the escaping section
No more need to escape `^`, be fancy with the backslash space to make
it actually, you know, render in the output.

52dcfe11af Make \x the same as \X
Up to now, in normal locales \x was essentially the same as \X, except
that it errored if given a value > 0x7f.

That's kind of annoying and useless.

A subtle change is that `\xHH` now represents the character (if any)
encoded by the byte value "HH", so even for values <= 0x7f if that's
not the same as the ASCII value we would diverge.

I do not believe anyone has ever run fish on a system where that
distinction matters. It isn't a thing for UTF-8, it isn't a thing for
ASCII, it isn't a thing for UTF-16, it isn't a thing for any extended
ASCII scheme - ISO8859-X, it isn't a thing for SHIFT-JIS.

I am reasonably certain we are making that same assumption in other
places.

38b24c2325 docs: Use :doc: role when linking to commands
This makes it so we link to the very top of the document instead of a
special anchor we manually include.

So clicking e.g. :doc:`string <cmds/string>` will link you to
cmds/string.html instead of cmds/string.html#cmd-string.

I would love to have a way to say "this document from the root of the
document path", but that doesn't appear to work, I tried
`/cmds/string`.

So we'll just have to use cmds/string in normal documents and plain
`string` from other commands.

74be3e847f Force stderr-nocaret feature flag on
This can no longer be changed. If "no-stderr-nocaret" is in
$fish_features it will simply be ignored.

The "^" redirection that was deprecated in fish 3.0 is now gone for good.

Note: For testing reasons, it can still be set _internally_ by running
"feature_flags_t::set". We simply shouldn't do that.

ad4530acd3 docs synopses: add space before ellipsis
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.

be451091d4 docs synopses: use ellipsis with singular words
We use plural "*OPTIONS*" more often than "*OPTION*...", so let's do
that everywhere.

In some other places where we do have an ellipsis, make sure to use
singular, since the ellipsis already means repetition.  This change
is incomplete, and I'm not sure if this is worth it, since it's
subjective, so I might drop it.

edc09c8419 Docs: Switch back to vanilla :ref: for commands that should be linked
Unfortunately, currently :program: doesn't link to the program's page.

So we use the old-school :ref: again where we should link, i.e. for
everything that's not the program the current page is about.

Documents like fish-tutorial don't need the NAME portion below.

(they also shoudln't be in section 1! These should be section 7,
they aren't for programs.)

the manpage writer will skip NAME if given an empty sstring as
the description.
