Problem:
Codebase inconsistently binds vim.api onto a or api.
Solution:
Use api everywhere. a as an identifier is too short to have at the
module level.
Never return the changes an only notify them using the `on_changedtree`
callback.
It is not guaranteed for a plugin that it'll be the first one to call
`tree:parse()` and thus get the changes.
Closes#19915
Problem:
gen_vimdoc.py / lua2dox.lua does not support @defgroup or \defgroup
except for "api-foo" modules.
Solution:
Modify `gen_vimdoc.py` to look for section names based on `helptag_fmt`.
TODO:
- Support @module ?

Problem:
Help tags like vim.treesitter.language.add() are confusing because
`vim.treesitter.language` is (thankfully) not a user-facing module.
Solution:
Ignore the "fstem" when generating "treesitter" tags.
Problem:
Treesitter injections are slow because all injected trees are invalidated on every change.
Solution:
Implement smarter invalidation to avoid reparsing injected regions.
- In on_bytes, try and update self._regions as best we can. This PR just offsets any regions after the change.
- Add valid flags for each region in self._regions.
- Call on_bytes recursively for all children.
- We still need to run the query every time for the top level tree. I don't know how to avoid this. However, if the new injection ranges don't change, then we re-use the old trees and avoid reparsing children.
This should result in roughly a 2-3x reduction in tree parsing when the comment injections are enabled.
Problem:
vim.treesitter does not know how to map a specific filetype to a parser.
This creates problems since in a few places (including in vim.treesitter itself), the filetype is incorrectly used in place of lang.
Solution:
Add an API to enable this:
- Add vim.treesitter.language.add() as a replacement for vim.treesitter.language.require_language().
- Optional arguments are now passed via an opts table.
- Also takes a filetype (or list of filetypes) so we can keep track of what filetypes are associated with which langs.
- Deprecated vim.treesitter.language.require_language().
- Add vim.treesitter.language.get_lang() which returns the associated lang for a given filetype.
- Add vim.treesitter.language.register() to associate filetypes to a lang without loading the parser.
- Render node ranges as virtual text
- Set filettype=query. The virtual text is to avoid parsing errors.
- Make sure highlights text is always in view.
Problem: Some injections (like markdown) allow specifying arbitrary
language names for code blocks, which may be lead to errors when
looking for a corresponding parser in runtime path.
Solution: Validate that the language name only contains alphanumeric
characters and `_` (e.g., for `c_sharp`) and error otherwise.
