Fix and improve sorting full matches first under some conditions.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
- Change the property list to use normal keys.
- Change `prescient-regexps` to `:prescient-match-regexps`.
- Add `:prescient-all-regexps`, which we need for proper sorting.

- Test the each regexp produced by a filter method separately.  Do not
  just re-use the regexps that were used for filtering.

- Fix `prefix` with `:with-group` when the first character of the
  query is a word character.  Make sure to not accidentally match the
  middle of a word.

- Tweak the `prefix` filter method to better work with
  `prescient-sort-full-matches-first` and avoid conflicts when trying
  to use an initialism.  Don't use greedy matching when there are no
  non-word characters.
  1. "re" only matches "re" at the start of the word "repeat", not the
     entire word.  Otherwise, we run into conflicts when we want "re"
     to be an initialism for a longer command name, such as
     "restart-emacs".
  2. ".g" fully matches ".git".
  3. "s-r" fully matches "string-rectangle", not just "string-r".
     This can't conflict with `initialism`, so there is no harm in
     assuming that the "r" is meant to match an entire word, just like
     the "s" does.

literally (i.e., one can't glob using \"*\"). Prescient already
covers that case by separating queries with a space.
If QUERY contains non-word characters, then this matches
greedily. Otherwise, it matches non-greedily. For example,
- \"str-r\" fully matches \"string-repeat\"
- \"re\" does not fully match the word \"repertoire\", only the
\"re\" at the beginning of the word
- \".g\" fully matches \".git\"
This behavior is meant to work better with the function
`prescient-sort-full-matches-first' and to avoid interpreting an
initialism as a prefix.
If WITH-GROUP is non-nil, enclose the parts of the regexp that
match the QUERY characters in capture groups, so that the match
