Cover letter [PATCH v3 0/6] Fun with cpp word regex

The cpp word regex driver is a bit too loose and can match too much text where the intent is to match only a number.

The first patch makes the cpp word regex tests more effective.

The second patch adds problematic test cases. The third patch fixes these problems.

The remaining three patches add support for digit separators and the spaceship operator <=> (generalized comparison operator).

I left out support for hexadecimal floating point constants because that would require to tighten the regex even more to avoid that entire expressions are treated as single tokens.

Changes since V2:

* Add test cases for the new features in a separate commit so that the new behavior is better visible.
* Don't treat .' as in '.' as a token.

Changes since V1:

* Tests, tests, tests.
* Polished commit messages.

     -    userdiff-cpp: permit the digit-separating single-quote in numbers
     +    userdiff-cpp: prepare test cases with yet unsupported features
      
     -    Since C++17, the single-quote can be used as digit separator:
     -
     -       3.141'592'654
     -       1'000'000
     -       0xdead'beaf
     -
     -    Make it known to the word regex of the cpp driver, so that numbers are
     -    not split into separate tokens at the single-quotes.
     +    We are going to add support for C++'s digit-separating single-quote and
     +    the spaceship operator. By adding the test cases in this separate
     +    commit, the effect on the word highlighting will become more obvious
     +    as the features are implemented and the file cpp/expect is updated.
