bug#60305: Help with hideshow

[Yuan Fu]

Is anyone familiar with hideshow? I tried to add tree-sitter support for it but didn’t quite make it. 

I just generalized some defun functions so that one can define a “thing” with a regexp that matches node types. So now it should be relatively straightforward for each major mode to define a “block” thing, like they do for defun, and a hideshow-treesitter bridge can use treesit-thing-at-point, treesit-beginning-of-thing, etc, to support hideshow.

It would be great if someone familiar with hideshow would like to give it a try, or educate me how to set hs-special-modes-alist.

On the separate note, I wonder if the hideshow support can go on the release branch.

Thanks,
Yuan

It depends on what it will look like.  If the addition of that doesn't
touch hideshow code used without tree-sitter, and if the tree-sitter
support is opt-in, I think we can have it on the release branch -- if
you manage to do this soon enough.  (I'm planning on a complete
feature freeze on the release branch in a week or so.)

Oops, this some how got sent to debbugs, I’ll resend to emacs-devel.

In that case, going on master is probably better. Hideshow isn’t that critical or game-changing.
