<pre><code>In particular, the regex parser has been disabled (for now?) because its
current implementation doesn't allow accessing kindDefinitions using
index and allowing this would require big changes in its implementation.
The affected parsers are Cobol, ActionScript and HTML. For HTML we can
use the token-based parser from upstream, and we should consider
whether Cobol and ActionScript are worth the effort to maintain a separate
regex implementation using GRegex (IMO these languages are dead enough
not to justify the extra effort).

<p>Basically it looks like this is stalled because it removes features, so how are those languages handled upstream?</p>
