Yes, for TM 2 \A and \z are “document anchors” instead of line 
anchors (and \G has also been given meaning beyond Ongiruma’s default 
behavor).

As for TM not noticing grammar changes, this would normally be when 
editing an included or injected grammar, in this case a relaunch is 
required. Editing root grammars should have the changes take effect when 
saving the grammar, and yes, it’s something I consider a temporary 
limitation.
