Hi,

I do not know whether I can remember correctly but I believe that someone mentioned a generator script for language grammars' regexp of a set of fixed names. I mean e.g.:

I have this list of fixed classes:

NSArray NSMutableString NSMutableArray NSCell NSCellItem NSCoder

and the generator script will output something like this:

NS(Array|Mutable(String|Array)|C(ell(Item)?|oder))

For TM2, it would be nice to not have to do this pretty common step.

Perhaps we could just specify a text file in the bundle with a word per line for a certain scope, and TM automagically reads the file and optimizes a regex and uses that. This would certainly make maintaining the word list easier.
