" This is a big undertaking. Perl 6 is the sort of language that only Perl
" can parse. But I'll do my best to get vim to.
"
" You can associate the extension ".pl" with the filetype "perl6" by setting
"     autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.pl setf perl6
" in your ~/.vimrc. But that will infringe on Perl 5, so you might want to
" put a modeline near the beginning or end of your Perl 6 files instead:
"     # vim: filetype=perl6

" TODO:
"   * Deal with s:Perl5//
"   * m:s// is a match, not a substitution
"   * Make these highlight as strings, not operators:
"       <==> <=:=> <===> <=~> <« »> «>» «<»
"   * Allow more keywords to match as function calls(leave() is export(), etc)
"   * Optimization: use nextgroup instead of lookaround (:help syn-nextgroup)
"   * Fix s''' substitutions being matched as package names
"   * Match s/// and m/// better, so things like "$s/" won't match
"   * Add more support for folding (:help syn-fold)
"   * Add more syntax syncing hooks (:help syn-sync)
"   * Q//:
"       :to, :heredoc
"       interpolate \q:s{$scalar} (though the spec isn't very clear on it)
"
" Impossible TODO?:
"   * Unspace
"   * Unicode bracketing characters for quoting (there are so many)
"   * Various tricks depending on context. I.e. we can't know when Perl
"     expects «*» to be a string or a hyperoperator. The latter is presumably
"     more common, so that's what we assume.
"   * Selective highlighting of Pod formatting codes with the :allow option
"   * Arbitrary number, order, and negation of adverbs to Q//, q//, qq//.
"     Currently only the first adverb is considered significant. Anything
"     more would require an exponential amount of regexes, making this
"     already slow syntax file even slower.
"
" If you want to have Pir code inside Q:PIR// strings highlighted, do:
"  let perl6_embedded_pir=1
"
" The above requires pir.vim, which you can find in Parrot's repository:
" https://svn.parrot.org/parrot/trunk/editor/
"
" Some less than crucial things have been made optional to speed things up.
" Look at the comments near the if/else branches in this file to see exactly
" which features are affected. "perl6_extended_all" enables everything.
"
" The defaults are:
"
"  unlet perl6_extended_comments
"  unlet perl6_extended_q
"  unlet perl6_extended_all

" For version 5.x: Clear all syntax items
" For version 6.x: Quit when a syntax file was already loaded
if version < 600
    syntax clear
