Merging functionality of vis detection to textadept?

[Nomarian]

Recently did an overhaul of vis detection of filetypes module to use scintillua's own detect_extensions table and I think scintillua itself could use some of the functionality like

• removal of suffixes/extensions (vim tends to add ~ and others add .bak)
• filenames -- Unsure about this, especially since some things are expected to be in a specific directory
• hashbang/env
• case insensitive extension

Thanks for the suggestions. The title references Textadept, but this issue is filed with Scintillua, which has other clients. Are you suggesting that this functionality be included in Scintillua so that other clients can benefit from it? Or just Textadept?

Yes, merge this functionality of detection in scintillua's detect function, I was going to start work on it, but I don't know if the PRs would be accepted. It would also be great if the Detection function was more generalized as well. (just test the extensions, just test the line)

Yes, I review and accept PRs if I agree with them. Feel free to start on this and we can iterate as needed.
