Scope types

• "char"
• "word"
• "token"
• "line"
• "sentence"
• "paragraph"
• "funk", "class", "state", etc
• "glyph dollar"
• "instance" (expands to containing token if input has zero width)
• "instance air" => better to use just "air"? Maybe not because that might cause ambiguity with "first five " vs "first [instance] five". Tho maybe this is actually fine?
• "reference" (expands to cursor token)
• "reference air"
• "global reference air"
• "round"
• "pair" (matches any of "round", "square" etc)
• "file"

Questions

• How do these modifiers interact with other modifiers?
  • "reversed"
  • "snipify T with holes T[]"

Examples where we want zipping semantics

Do we want instead to use “square-ify round” or “square-ify bound round”?

How to do this while staying within jq world?

• “Change bound round to square”
• “Insert count before every line”
