2 months ago Note that currently, Symex considers "entering" a string to be undefined behavior, since a string is an atom i.e. a single symex that doesn't have any components. Generally speaking we don't provide any official support for navigating the words of a string using Symex mode, though, of course, we secretly can do that and it sometimes works for what we need. Technically this would be more the province of something like Rigpa's Word mode.
Anyway, having said all that, as we secretly do use Symex to navigate within a string upon occasion, I suppose there's no harm in merging this, necessarily. But please don't rely on this functionality as it's technically unsupported 😆
Summary of Changes
When the point is on the first symex of a string, the
symex-lisp--point-at-start-preturns nil instead of true. It brokes the overlay badly. By adding a clause tosymex-lisp--point-at-start-pthe issue seems to be fixed but maybe I miss something.https://github.com/drym-org/symex.el/assets/4739483/9bf7f2dc-dbc8-40a7-9a7b-0cd169c9169d

(Why: The freely released, copyright-free work in this repository represents an investment in a better way of doing things called attribution-based economics. Attribution-based economics is based on the simple idea that we gain more by giving more, not by holding on to things that, truly, we could only create because we, in our turn, received from others. As it turns out, an economic system based on attribution -- where those who give more are more empowered -- is significantly more efficient than capitalism while also being stable and fair (unlike capitalism, on both counts), giving it transformative power to elevate the human condition and address the problems that face us today along with a host of others that have been intractable since the beginning. You can help make this a reality by releasing your work in the same way -- freely into the public domain in the simple hope of providing value.
