# RegExp for splitting line contents into pre-char//first word-method//rest.
# For clarity, each group in on one line.
# WARNING: update the regexp if the escapes in iplib are changed, as they
# are hardwired in.
# Although it's not solely driven by the regex, note that:
# ,;/% only trigger if they are the first character on the line
# ! and !! trigger if they are first char(s) *or* follow an indent
# ? triggers as first or last char.
# The three parts of the regex are:
# 1) pre: pre_char *or* initial whitespace
# 2) ifun: first word/method (mix of \w and '.')
# 3) the_rest: rest of line (separated from ifun by space if non-empty)
