userdiff/perl: anchor "sub" and "package" patterns on the left
The userdiff funcname mechanism has no concept of nested scopes ---
instead, "git diff" and "git grep --show-function" simply label the
diff header with the most recent matching line. Unfortunately that
means text following a subroutine in a POD section:
=head1 DESCRIPTION
You might use this facility like so:
sub example {
foo;
}
Now, having said that, let's say more about the facility.
Blah blah blah ... etc etc.
gets the subroutine name instead of the POD header in its diff/grep
funcname header, making it harder to get oriented when reading a
diff without enough context.
The fix is simple: anchor the funcname syntax to the left margin so
nested subroutines and packages like this won't get picked up. (The
builtin C++ funcname pattern already does the same thing.) This means
the userdiff driver will misparse the idiom
{
my $static;
sub foo {
... use $static ...
}
}
but I think that's worth it; we can revisit this later if the userdiff
mechanism learns to keep track of the beginning and end of nested
scopes.
