;;; Commentary:

;; Introduction
;; ============
;;
;;
;; The main user entry point is `el-search-pattern'.  This command
;; prompts for a `pcase' pattern and searches the current buffer for
;; matching expressions by iteratively `read'ing buffer contents.  For
;; any match, point is put at the beginning of the expression found
;; (unlike isearch which puts point at the end of matches).
;;
;; It doesn't matter how the code is actually formatted.  Comments are
;; ignored, and strings are treated as atomic objects, their contents
;; are not being searched.
;;
;; Example 1: if you enter
;;
;;    97
;;
;; at the prompt, this will find any occurrence of the number 97 in
;; the code, but not 977 or (+ 90 7) or "My string containing 97".
;; But it will find anything `eq' to 97 after reading, e.g. #x61 or
;; ?a.
;;
;;
;; Example 2: If you enter the pattern
;;
;;   `(defvar ,_)
;;
;; you search for all defvar forms that don't specify an init value.
;; 
;; The following will search for defvar forms with a docstring whose
;; first line is longer than 70 characters:
;;
;;   `(defvar ,_ ,_
;;      ,(and s (guard (< 70 (length (car (split-string s "\n")))))))
;;
;;
;; When a search pattern is processed, the searched buffer is current
;; with point at the beginning of the currently tested expression.
;;
;;
;; Example 3:
;;
;; I can be useful to use (guard EXP) patterns for side effects.
;;
;; The following pattern will search for symbols defined in any
;; library whose name starts with "cl".  As a side effect, it prints
;; the current line number, whether we have a macro or a function, and
;; the defining file in the echo area for each match:
;;
;;   (and (pred symbolp)
;;        (let file (symbol-file exp))
;;        (guard file)
;;        (let lib-name (file-name-sans-extension
;;                       (file-name-nondirectory file)))
;;        (guard (string-match-p "^cl" lib-name))
;;        (or (and (pred macrop)    (let type "macro "))
;;            (and (pred functionp) (let type "function "))
;;            (let type ""))
;;        (guard (message "Line %d: %s`%S' (from \"%s\")"
;;                        (line-number-at-pos)
;;                        type
;;                        exp
;;                        lib-name)))
;;
;; `message' never returns nil, so the last `guard' always "matches".
;;
;;
;; Convenience
;; ===========
;;
;; For pattern input, the minibuffer is put into `emacs-lisp-mode'.
;;
;; Any input PATTERN is silently transformed into (and exp PATTERN)
;; so that you can always refer to the whole currently tested
;; expression via the variable `exp'.
;;
;; Example 4:
;;
;; If you want to search a buffer for symbols that are defined in
;; "cl-lib", you can use this pattern
;;
;;   (guard (and (symbolp exp)
;;               (when-let ((file (symbol-file exp)))
;;                 (string-match-p "cl-lib\\.elc?$" file))))
;;
;;
;; ,----------------------------------------------------------------------
;; | Q: "But I hate `pcase'!  Can't we just do without?"                 |
;; |                                                                     |
;; | A: Respect that you kept up until here! Just use (guard CODE), where|
;; | CODE is any normal Elisp expression that returns non-nil when and   |
;; | only when you have a match.  Use the variable `exp' to refer to     |
;; | the currently tested expression.  Just like in the last example!    |
;; `----------------------------------------------------------------------
;;
;;
;; It's cumbersome to write out the same complicated pattern
;; constructs in the minibuffer again and again.  You can define your
;; own pcase pattern types for the purpose of el-search with
;; `el-search-defpattern'.  It is just like `pcase-defmacro', but the
;; effect is limited to this package.  See C-h f `el-search-pattern'
;; for a list of predefined additional pattern forms.
;;
;;
;; Replacing
;; =========
;;
;; You can replace expressions with command `el-search-query-replace'.
;; You are queried for a (pcase) pattern and a replacement expression.
;; For each match of the pattern, the replacement expression is
;; evaluated with the bindings created by the pcase matching in
;; effect, and printed to produce the replacement string.
;;
;; Example: In some buffer you want to swap the two expressions at the
;; places of the first two arguments in all calls of function `foo',
;; so that e.g.
;;
;;   (foo 'a (* 2 (+ 3 4)) t)
;;
;; becomes
;;
;;   (foo (* 2 (+ 3 4)) 'a t).
;;
;; This will do it:
;;
;;    M-x el-search-query-replace RET
;;    `(foo ,a ,b . ,rest) RET
;;    `(foo ,b ,a . ,rest) RET
;;
;; Type y to replace a match and go to the next one, r to replace
;; without moving, SPC to go to the next match and ! to replace all
;; remaining matches automatically.  q quits.  n is like SPC, so that
;; y and n work like in isearch (meaning "yes" and "no") if you are
;; used to that.
;;
;;
;; Suggested key bindings
;; ======================
;;
;;    (define-key emacs-lisp-mode-map [(control ?S)] #'el-search-pattern)
;;    (define-key emacs-lisp-mode-map [(control ?%)] #'el-search-query-replace)
;;
;;    (define-key isearch-mode-map [(control ?S)] #'el-search-search-from-isearch)
;;    (define-key isearch-mode-map [(control ?%)] #'el-search-replace-from-isearch)
;;
;; The bindings in `isearch-mode-map' let you conveniently switch to
;; elisp searching from isearch.
;;
;;
;; Bugs, Known Limitations
;; =======================
;;
;; - Replacing: in some cases the reader syntax of forms
;; is changing due to reading+printing.  "Some" because we can treat
;; that problem in most cases.
;;
;; - Similarly: Comments are normally preserved (where it makes
;; sense).  But when replacing like `(foo ,a ,b) -> `(foo ,b ,a)
;;
;; in a content like
;;
;;   (foo
;;     a
;;     ;;a comment
;;     b)
;;
;; the comment will be lost.
;;
;;
;;  Acknowledgments
;;  ===============
;;
;; Thanks to Stefan Monnier for corrections and advice.
;;
;;
;; TODO:
;;
;; - detect infloops when replacing automatically (e.g. for 1 -> '(1))
;;
;; - highlight matches around point in a timer
;;
;; - implement backward searching
;;
;; - improve docstrings
;;
;; - handle more reader syntaxes, e.g. #n, #n#
;;
;; - Implement sessions; add multi-file support based on iterators.  A
;;   file list is read in (or the user can specify an iterator as a
;;   variable).  The state in the current buffer is just (buffer
;;   . marker).  Or should this be abstracted into an own lib?  Could
;;   be named "files-session" or so.
