TLDR: This greatly increases the flexibility of vim modeline detection
to manually set the language of a file.
In vim there are two forms of modelines:
[text]{white}{vi:|vim:|ex:}[white]{options}
examples: 'vim: syntax=perl', 'ex: filetype=ruby'
-and-
[text]{white}{vi:|vim:|Vim:|ex:}[white]se[t] {options}:[text]
examples: 'vim set syntax=perl:', 'Vim: se ft=ruby:'
As you can see, there are many combinations. These changes should allow
most combinations to be used. The two most important additions are the
use of the keyword 'syntax', as well as the addition of the first form
(you now no longer need to use the keyword 'set' with a colon at the end).
The use of first form with 'syntax' is very, very common across GitHub:
https://github.com/search?l=ruby&q=vim%3A+syntax%3D&ref=searchresults&type=Code&utf8=%E2%9C%93
Documentation is an important part of a software project but is not
generally thought of as part of the code for that project. Repository
language statistics are used to quantify the project's code, so it makes
sense to exclude documentation from those computations.
Documentation files are recognized similarly to vendored files.
lib/linguist/documentation.yml contains regular expressions to match
common names for documentation files. A new linguist-documentation Git
attribute can be used to override those conventions.
