Markdown-mode will now auto-detect a markdown compiler when you use
markdown-preview (SPC m b). It will try marked, pandoc and markdown, in
that order.
As for markdown-open, it will now use "open" on MacOS and "xdg-open" on
Linux, by default.
+ Make flyspell more selective about what to scan in markdown buffers.
+ Don't mark duplicates when proseline or langtool are present.
+ Add set-flyspell-predicate! for seeing mode-specific word predicates.
+ enable lexical-scope everywhere (lexical-binding = t): ~5-10% faster
startup; ~5-20% general boost
+ reduce consing, function calls & garbage collection by preferring
cl-loop & dolist over lambda closures (for mapc[ar], add-hook, and
various cl-lib filter/map/reduce functions) -- where possible
+ prefer functions with dedicated opcodes, like assq (see byte-defop's
in bytecomp.el for more)
+ prefer pcase & cond (faster) over cl-case
+ general refactor for code readability
+ ensure naming & style conventions are adhered to
+ appease byte-compiler by marking unused variables with underscore
+ defer minor mode activation to after-init, emacs-startup or
window-setup hooks; a customization opportunity for users + ensures
custom functionality won't interfere with startup.
