Lime packages

[zoli]

The key idea of lime packages is modularity/optionality.

The core backend shouldn't know about tmbundle nor sublime-package, but rather it should make it possible to use these and other variants. For example it should be possible to write plugins in lua, and call other plugins in python. @quarnster

Ideally packages implemented in such a way that we can just do:

import (
_ "github.com/limetext/lime/backend/textmate"
_ "github.com/limetext/lime/backend/sublime"
_ "github.com/limetext/lime/backend/emacs"
)

Some useful links: Sublime text packages docs, limetext/lime#283, limetext/lime#281

IMO currently we need to support textmate bundles mostly for syntax definitions and sublime packages for plugins so this is the list of issues I think we should resolve:

• [ ] zip archives #66 (i.e .sublime-package)
• [x] editable package paths #64 (installed packages, user packages, shipped packages)
• [x] disabling & enabling packages #93
• [ ] overriding packages doc
• [ ] sublime package contents
  • [ ] build systems (.sublime-build)
  • [x] color schemes (.tmTheme)
  • [x] key maps (.sublime-keymap)
  • [ ] macros (.sublime-macro)
  • [ ] menus (.sublime-menu)
  • [ ] metadata (.tmPreferences)
  • [ ] mouse maps (.sublime-mousemap)
  • [x] plugins (.py)
  • [x] settings (.sublime-settings)
  • [ ] snippets (.sublime-snippet)
  • [x] syntax definitions (.tmLanguage)
  • [ ] themes (.sublime-theme)
• [ ] textmate bundle contents
  • [ ] commands (.tmCommand)
  • [ ] macros (.tmMacro)
  • [ ] preferences (.tmPreferences)
  • [ ] snippets (.tmSnippet)
  • [ ] completions
  • [ ] tests
  • [ ] templates

Just wanted to comment and say thank you for working on this!

I'm more of a front-end guy, so I'll try and contribute there. Kudos, I really look forward to being able to use Lime Text in the future! :tada:
