The official developer documentation in in :h dev-lua-doc specifies to
use "--@" for special/magic tokens. However, this format is not
consistent with EmmyLua notation (used by some Lua language servers) nor
with the C version of the magic docstring tokens which use three comment
characters.
Further, the code base is currently split between usage of "--@",
"---@", and "--- @". In an effort to remain consistent, change all Lua
magic tokens to use "---@" and update the developer documentation
accordingly.
For the case of Clojure and other Lisp syntax highlighting, it is
necessary to create huge regexps consisting of hundreds of symbols with
the pipe (|) character. To make things more difficult, these Lisp
symbols sometimes consists of special characters that are themselves
part of special regexp characters like '*'. In addition to being
difficult to maintain, it's performance is suboptimal.
This patch introduces a new predicate to perform 'source' matching in
amortized constant time. This is accomplished by compiling a hash table
on the first use.
This function returns the start and stop value if set else the node's range is used
When the node's range is used, the stop is incremented by 1 to make the search inclusive
Add support for default start and end row when omitted in the
query:iter_captures and query:iter_matches functions.
When the start and end row values are omitted, the values of the given
node is used. The end row value is incremented by 1 to include the node end
row in the match.
Updated tests and docs accordingly.
Only the plugin/package manager should "manage" after/. Consumers of
nvim_get_runtime_file() should not need to special case it (if your plugin
manager is broken then fix it instead).
Don't use vim.fn.readfile(). Lua can already read files. It is even
better at it than vim script.
expose M.get_query_files(). Listing the queries is essential for user
config debug, and let plugins do fun things with it.
Abstraction-by-obscurity is not useful (plugins can just cargo cult copy
the code anyway, better with public entry points).
This reverts the handling of base languages to the old way how
nvim-treesitter handled them. When a language extends a base language
it usually wants to be able to overwrite queries.

Runtime queries just work like ftplugins, that is:
- Queries in the `after` directory are sourced _after_ the "base" query
- Otherwise, the last define query takes precedence.
Queries can be found in the `queries` directory.
Update runtime/lua/vim/treesitter/query.lua
