[issue45692] IDLE: define word/id chars in one place.

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu> added the comment:

editor.py, line 809, IDENTCHARS

Used in the immediately following def colorize_syntax_error on line 814.
        if char and char in self.IDENTCHARS:
            text.tag_add("ERROR", pos + " wordstart", pos)
I believe the intent is to color the part of an identifier that precedes the character marked.  At the moment, I cannot think of how to trigger such a situation.  I would have to add some console prints to investigate.  Maybe this should get the autoexpand fix, but maybe it is dead code.
