Comment:

 Yeah, that broke multi-character patterns when they use the same
 characters as single-character pattern, like `**` and `*`. I know we don't
 use any of there at the moment, but may in the future, or a plugin can add
 them.

 In 37693.6.patch attempting to fix this. Expects that the patterns are
 sorted by priority: longer patterns first. This also changes the behaviour
 to support the pattern characters to appear in the string. Example:
 - `__` and `_` are registered;
 - Typing `__ $var_name __` should properly replace the starting and ending
 `__` and leave the `_` in the middle.

 This still needs testing and is a change in behaviour. Few tests may need
 updating too (fail at the moment).
