[PATCH v4 0/7] customizable --color-words

I cherry-picked the three commits you had there, and rebuilt on top. I pushed them to

  git://repo.or.cz/git/trast.git tr/word-diff-p2

again (js/word-diff-p1 again points directly at your half).

The changes on your side since my last push (hence your last sent patches&squashes I collected) were only a pair of quotes changed from double to single.

On my side I mainly tweaked the TeX pattern since I noticed it didn't match many non-alnums such as (), and therefore declare them unchanged:

-       "\\\\[a-zA-Z@]+|[][{}]|\\\\.|[a-zA-Z0-9\x80-\xff]+"),
+       "\\\\[a-zA-Z@]+|\\\\.|[a-zA-Z0-9\x80-\xff]+|[^[:space:]]"),

I also added a clause to the C++ pattern to allow it to match declarations such as

  int Foo::bar(...)

(it would give up on the :: before).
