;;; Commentary:

;; This file provides routines for getting the "thing" at the location of
;; point, whatever that "thing" happens to be.  The "thing" is defined by
;; its beginning and end positions in the buffer.
;;
;; The function bounds-of-thing-at-point finds the beginning and end
;; positions by moving first forward to the end of the "thing", and then
;; backwards to the beginning.  By default, it uses the corresponding
;; forward-"thing" operator (e.g. forward-word, forward-line).
;;
;; Special cases are allowed for using properties associated with the named
;; "thing":
;;
;;   forward-op		Function to call to skip forward over a "thing" (or
;;                      with a negative argument, backward).
;;
;;   beginning-op	Function to call to skip to the beginning of a "thing".
;;   end-op		Function to call to skip to the end of a "thing".
;;
;; For simple things, defined as sequences of specific kinds of characters,
;; use macro define-thing-chars.
;;
;; Reliance on existing operators means that many `things' can be accessed
;; without further code:  eg.
;;     (thing-at-point 'line)
;;     (thing-at-point 'page)

;;; Code:

(provide 'thingatpt)

(defvar thing-at-point-provider-alist nil
  "Alist of providers for returning a \"thing\" at point.
This variable can be set globally, or appended to buffer-locally
by modes, to provide functions that will return a \"thing\" at
point.  The first provider for the \"thing\" that returns a
non-nil value wins.

For instance, a major mode could say:

\(setq-local thing-at-point-provider-alist
            (append thing-at-point-provider-alist
                    \\='((url . my-mode--url-at-point))))

to provide a way to get an `url' at point in that mode.  The
provider functions are called with no parameters at the point in
question.

\"things\" include `symbol', `list', `sexp', `defun', `filename',
`existing-filename', `url', `email', `uuid', `word', `sentence',
`whitespace', `line', `face' and `page'.")

(defvar forward-thing-provider-alist nil
  "Alist of providers for moving forward to the end of the next \"thing\".
This variable can be set globally, or appended to buffer-locally by
modes, to provide functions that will move forward to the end of a
\"thing\" at point.  Each function should take a single argument
BACKWARD, which is non-nil if the function should instead move to the
beginning of the previous thing.  The provider for \"thing\" that moves
point by the smallest non-zero distance wins.

You can use this variable in much the same way as
`thing-at-point-provider-alist' (which see).")
