Although the process of writing a TextMate language grammar remains
18+
*poorly documented*, this is a *brave* first attempt to provide
19+
a minimal usable support for Boost.Jam. By no means, it is free from
20+
bugs or covers all elements of Boost.Jam language. Non-trivial TextMate
21+
grammars for Visual Studio Code count from 500 to 5000 lines of code,
22+
and this one *less than 200*.
