Having a special matcher that always matches seems to make more sense
than making one of the other matchers handle the case. For now, we
just use this new matcher when no patterns were provided.
At this point the includematcher is an exact copy of the main matcher
class. We will specialize and simplify both classes in the following
patches. This initial unmodified copy is just to make the differences
clearer. We also rename the main matcher to "patternmatcher" for
consistency.
I may eventually merge this new includematcher back into the main
matcher, but I think doing it this way makes the intermediate steps
clearer regardless.
Exact matching is now handled by the exactmatcher class.
We can safely remove _files from the __repr__() implementation,
because even though the field is set, the patternspat field is enough
for the representation to be unambiguous (which was not the case when
the matcher could handle exact matches).
str.splitlines could not be used in 2d839579ce70, but _now_ we would like to
have lines with other line endings than \n.
Some fine occurences of (esc) markup of \r is replaced with multiple lines
ending with '\r (no-eol) (esc)'. That is no win but also no significant loss.
This change makes it possible to drop filtercr.py - _that_ is a win.
Many tests didn't change back from subdirectories at the end of the tests ...
and they don't have to. The missing 'cd ..' could always be added when another
test case is added to the test file.
This change do that tests (99.5%) consistently end up in $TESTDIR where they
started, thus making it simpler to extend them or move them around.
Using terminfo instead of hard-coding ECMA-48 control sequences provides a
greater assurance that the terminal codes are correct for the current
terminal type; not everything supports the ANSI escape codes.
It also allows us to use a wider range of colors when a terminal emulator
supports it (such as 16- or 256-color xterm), and a few more non-color
attributes, such as the ever-popular blink.
