Supports POSIX, bashism and mixed function declarations, all four compound
command types, trailing comments and mixed whitespace.

Uses the POSIX.1-2017 definition of allowed characters in names
<https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1_chap03.html#tag_03_235>
since actual allowed characters in Bash function names are locale
dependent <https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/245336/3645>.

Uses the default `IFS` characters to define words.

Adds testing functionality to verify non-matches by including the
literal string "non-match" somewhere in the test file. To verify that
only the matching files are syntactically valid:

for file in t/t4018/bash*
do
    echo "$file"
    if grep non-match "$file"
    then
        . "$file" && echo FAILED
    else
        . "$file" || echo FAILED
    fi
done 2>/dev/null | grep FAILED

Fixes issues found by Junio C Hamano.

Supports more valid function declaration formats.

Verifies non-matching code which looks similar to function
declarations.

Does *not* include the following suggested test:

> 	RIGHT () {
> 		: ChangeMe
> 	}

Quoting t/t4018/README:

    Insert the word "ChangeMe" (exactly this form) at a distance of
    at least two lines from the line that must appear in the hunk
    header.

t/t4018-diff-funcname.sh verifies the hunk header as part of `git diff
-U1`, so there's one line of context. In your example "RIGHT" is on the
line directly above "ChangeMe", so it's part of the context. I assume
it is intentional that no part of the context is duplicated in the hunk
header. The other tests, for example t/t4018/python-def, are
implemented in the same way, with at least one line of content between
"RIGHT" and "ChangeMe".

It's meant to test only the comment part, so that is intentional.
t/t4018/bash-trailing-comment is identical to t/t4018/bash-posix-style-
function except for the comment.

So, this is more like

   Even though bash allows locale-dependet characters in function names,
   only the allowed characters per the POSIX.1-2017 definition are
   implemented for simplicity. We can expect that this catches the vast
   majority of use-cases.

>

We could do better than this, I think. At a minimum, the equal sign,
single quote, double quote, parentheses, and braces should also
delineate words. $(, ${, $((, ((, )), [[, ]], should be words. I would
exclude single brackets because they could only occur in globs, IIRC,
and they need not be broken into words at brackets. $var should be a
single word, IMO.

That said, this can be presented as a patch on top of this one.

This complication is not necessary. See below for an example how to do
negative tests.

While speaking of that: it is very refreshing to see negative tests!

When you write a commit message, please always answer the question WHY
the change should be made. For example, the notice "use IFS characters"
alone does not add value; that much can be seen in the patch text. How
about:

   Since a word pattern has to be specified, but there is no easy way
   to request the default word pattern, use the standard IFS characters
   for a starter. A later patch can improve this.

In general, a justification of why something should be added, should
also be answered. But in the case of "bash pattern for userdiff" the
answer is too obvious and trivial, that an exception is warranted.

Please write the commit message in imperative mood. "Support" instead of
"Supports", etc.

Can we mention POSIX shell language as well?

To check for a non-match, you write the test like this:

	function RIGHT () {
	}
	# the following must not be picked up:
	functionWrong {
		:
		ChangeMe
	}

That is, you present a positive match, and then expect that the
subsequent negative match is not picked up.

Good to see POSIX-style function tests.

The purpose of this outer-most pair of parentheses is actually to mark
the captured text, not so much "the function definition".

> +	 /* Start of POSIX/Bashism grouping */
> +	 "("

You could omit the comment if you indent the parts that are inside the
parentheses:

	"("
		"..."
	"|"
		"..."
	")"

(But perhaps don't indent between the outer-most parentheses; it would
get us too far to the right. But judge yourself.)

All good suggestions, but I especially appreciate this one ;-).

This, too (I called it "here comes the whole thing" in my suggested
version ).

An excellent readability suggestion.

Thanks for a review.  Especially the parts that mine didn't touch
(i.e. the proposed log message).

I can't tell where this word definition is used, and I can't seem to
find any tests for the word regexes for the other languages. Is it used
for word diffs somehow? I'll leave it for now, but if you have some
pointers I could look into that later.

Thank you very much for the comments!
