Ability to define ignore list for symbol #24

Closed c41x closed 9 years ago

c41x commented 9 years ago

I think it's nice feature to have ability to specify list of regexes to filter out symbols that should not be highlighted. For example there is no sense in selecting numbers or keywords. Just added defcustom highlight-symbol-ignore-list. Example - ignoring numbers:

(highlight-symbol-ignore-list '("\\`[0-9]+f?F?[ulUL]*\\'"))

I agree that this makes sense. Thanks.

Could please make the docstring a bit more verbose, though. :) Then I'll merge it.

Eh, I made an almost identical functionality (before I saw this), not regexp, but black list of symbols. This implementation is better and much more flexible for sure. It'll be great to have it in the official repo. @nschum can you merge it as is? Or maybe @c41x can finish it?

I've just updated docstring.
