Syntax highlight codefences in markdown about subethaedit HOT 2 CLOSED

As I'm going through more of these, I'm trying to find a way to balance some SyntaxDefinition additions without making them be super-specific to the markdown mode. Basically, I want:

1. A way to map all other SyntaxDefinitions
2. Grab their filename recognitions to generate the fences.

I hate turning XML into an imperative thing, but "conceptually", I want something like this:

    <modes>
            <state id="CodeBlock-{mode.name}" usesymbolsfrommode="{mode.name}" useautocompletefrommode="{mode.name}" foldable="yes" scope="meta.block.{mode.name.toLowerCase()}">
                <begin><regex>^```(?:([^\.]*.)?({mode.fileextensions.join("|")}|{mode.filinames.join("|")|{mode.name}|{mode.aliases.join("|")})</regex></begin>
                <end><regex>```</regex></end>
                <import mode = "{mode.name}" />
            </state>
   </modes>

Something like that. I'm basing the codefence recognition on GitHub's, which is in turn based on the rouge library. If we look at just ruby as an example, we see why we need to support a whole bunch of different "types" of things ( https://github.com/jneen/rouge/blob/master/lib/rouge/lexers/ruby.rb#L11 ):

file extensions:

'.rb',
'.ruby',
'.rbw',
'.rake',
'.gemspec',
'.podspec',
'.ru',
'.prawn',
'*.arb'

filenames:

'Rakefile',
'Guardfile',
'Gemfile',
'Capfile',
'Podfile',
'Vagrantfile',
'Berksfile',
'Dangerfile'

language names and aliases:

'ruby'
'rb' (handled by *.rb above already).

Anyways, just want to post current status. As I mentioned above, might be a good intermediate step to just have a build step inline all these modes and create the markdown mode. But eventually we want it to pick up on user's custom modes, and ideally do so live without restarting.

I'm closing this one with the merge of pull request #65 so it doesn't get lost in the Changelog. Please do file a fresh issue for further improvements.
