Text-object like motion for arguments

This is a mirror of http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2699

This plugin provides a text-object 'a' (argument). You can d(elete), c(hange), v(select)... an argument or inner argument in familiar ways. That is, such as 'daa'(delete-an-argument) 'cia'(change-inner-argument) 'via'(select-inner-argument). What this script does is more than just typing F,dt, because it recognizes inclusion relationship of parentheses.

There is an option to descide whether the motion should go out to toplevel function or not in nested function application.

Examples: case1) delete An argument function(int arg1, ch<press 'daa' here>ar* arg2="a,b,c(d,e)") function(int arg1<cursor here; and if you press 'daa' again..>) function()

case2) change Inner argument function(int arg1, ch<press 'cia' here>ar* arg2="a,b,c(d,e)") function(int arg1, )

case 3) smart argument recognition (g:argumentobject_force_toplevel = 0) function(1, (20<press 'cia' here>*30)+40, somefunc2(3, 4)) function(1, , somefunc2(3, 4))

   function(1, (20*30)+40, somefunc2(<press 'cia' here>3, 4))
   function(1, (20*30)+40, somefunc2(<cursor here>4))

case 4) smart argument recognition (g:argumentobject_force_toplevel = 1) function(1, (20<press 'cia' here>*30)+40, somefunc2(3, 4)) function(1, , somefunc2(3, 4)) " note that this result is the same of above.

   function(1, (20*30)+40, somefunc2(<press 'cia' here>3, 4))
   function(1, (20*30)+40, <cursor here>) " sub-level function is deleted because it is a argument in terms of the outer function.
