When updating, only match text in comments #10

Sublime Text will give the scope of a match. The scope is the set of syntax highlighting rules that match the selection. We can use this to determine if the text is a comment or not. We should only update the text in comments, not other scopes.

  1. Take the region of the match.
  2. Select any point in the region.
  3. Use View.scope_name(point) to determine that the point is in a comment.
  4. Use View.extract_scope(point) to determine the extent of the comment area.
  5. If the comment area includes the entirety of the match, then it is appropriate to replace it.
