Syntax compatiblity with html-ish languages

[thenbe]

Hi. I'm trying to add svelte as a custom language. This is what I have:

import = {
  insert_at_top = false,
  custom_languages = {
    {
      regex = [[^\s+import\s+.*from\s+]],
      filetypes = { "svelte" },
      extensions = { "svelte" }, -- custom svelte filetype is defined using ripgrep config file: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/blob/master/GUIDE.md#configuration-file
    },
  },
},

The core functionality is working great. By default however, the imports are inserted at the top line which is incorrect syntax for svelte files. This is because a typical svelte starts like this:

<script>
  import foo from 'bar';
</script>

Imports need to start at the second line.

Solutions

1. (ideal) allow to declare a custom line number in a custom_language object:

   custom_languages = {
    {
      regex = [[^\s+import\s+.*from\s+]],
      filetypes = { "svelte" },
      extensions = { "svelte" },
      insert_at_line = 2; -- <-- like this
    },

2. Allow insert_at_top to be configurable on a custom_language level. Currently, you would lose insert_at_top functionality for all languages (even ts, js) if you wanted to be compatible with svelte (or vue, html, etc). It's a shame because it's such a convenient feature.

   custom_languages = {
    {
      regex = [[^\s+import\s+.*from\s+]],
      filetypes = { "svelte" },
      extensions = { "svelte" },
      insert_at_top = false; -- <-- only for svelte
    },

Good point! I prefer the first approach if you feel like submitting a PR for it?
