Kakoune's balanced strings require that delimiter characters nested inside
them are also paired, so for example in %{ }, each nested { must occur
before a corresponding } to balance it out.
In general this will automatically be the case for code in common scripting
languages, but sometimes regular expressions used for syntax highlighting
do end up containing an unbalanced bracket of one type or another.
This problem is easily solved because there is a free choice of balanced
delimiter characters. However, it can also be worked around by adding
a comment which itself contains an unbalanced delimiter character, to
'balance out' the unpaired one in the regular expression.
These unbalanced comments are not ideal as the semantic role they perform
is easy for a casual reader to overlook. A good example is
catch %{
# indent after lines with an unclosed { or (
try %< execute-keys -draft [c[({],[)}] <ret> <a-k> \A[({][^\n]*\n[^\n]*\n?\z <ret> j<a- gt> >
# indent after a switch's case/default statements
try %[ execute-keys -draft kx <a-k> ^\h*(case|default).*:$ <ret> j<a-gt> ]
# deindent closing brace(s) when after cursor
try %[ execute-keys -draft x <a-k> ^\h*[})] <ret> gh / [})] <ret> m <a-S> 1<a-&> ]
}
in rc/filetype/go/kak. Here, it is not instantly obvious that the comment
containing an unmatched { is required for correctness. If you change the
comment, delete it or rearrange the contents of the catch block, go.kak
will fail to load, and if you cut-and-paste this code as the basis for
a new filetype, it is a loaded gun pointing at your feet.
Luckily, a careful audit of the standard kakoune library turned up only
three such instances, in go.kak, hare.kak and markdown.kak.
The examples in go.kak and hare.kak are easily made robust by replacing
a %{ } with %< > or %[ ] respectively. The example in markdown.kak is
least-intrusively fixed by rewriting the affected regular expression
slightly so it has balanced { and } anyway.

Probably some race condition that right now works with a big letter P?

At the moment, inserting a new line while being in a comment result in a
"//<indentation>" instead of "<indentation>//".
To fix this, we just paste the comment and indent after the newline
initial indentation.

`x` is often criticized as hard to predict due to its slightly complex
behaviour of selecting next line if the current one is fully selected.
Change `x` to use the previous `<a-x>` behaviour, and change `<a-x>` to
trim to fully selected lines as `<a-X>` did.
Adapt existing indentation script to the new behaviour
