Especially given that the said correctness has always been relative. So it's not like we're leaving the heaven of 100% correctness and falling into the hell of 10% correctness. A more reasonable view of the situation is that we had 90% correctness and now have,As someone who worked on different major mode and syntax-ppss itself a little, that feels moderately insulting.No: we strive to close to 100% correctness in supporting language syntax and can often reach it with moderate effort (programming-wise).
It isn't meant to be insulting, and I think you understood that. My experience is simply that highlighting in Emacs is definitely not "close to 100% correct", whatever be the mode. The most correct one is perhaps emacs-lisp-mode (unsurprisingy).
in files with "loo long lines" and only in those files, 60% correctness.Does the attached screenshot look like 60% correctness to you?
A small sample of a big file is definitely not representative, and I think you understood that.
To me, it's more like -60%. Or at least, that's what the utility of such highlighting will be (negative).
In which case you should turn highlighting off in such files. That's what all other editors do anyway.
