[Github-comments] [geany/geany] warning support (#1649)

[elextr]

> BTW it seems that backreferences do not support named groups.

>From the glib regex syntax description:

```
Back references to named subpatterns use the Perl syntax \k<name> or \k'name' or the Python syntax (?P=name).
```

but I admit its not easy to find. And named back references are also numbered too of course.

> I think I should document this convetions at least as a comment for filetypes_parse_error_message

Don't worry I will hound you to document it adequately in the manual before the PR will get accepted, erm I mean _help_ you of course :)

IMHO the hard coded error parsing really should not be encouraged any more due to its limitations, lack of maintenance and failure to support newer tools.
