(Please let me know if I asked the same question ago.)

In Universal Ctags, people can write a parser in C language or .ctags language, 
which I named optlib.

The code written in optlib is translated into C language with regcomp/regexec 
calls while building a ctags executable. The optlib is extremely convenient for 
writing an indexer/parser for a small language.

In the Universal Ctags, I got a pull request for Forth language parser from 
@farvardin.

Initially, it is written in C. However, the parser was so simple. So we rewrote 
it in optlib.
After rewriting, we polished the pull request.
It is mostly ready to merge 
(https://github.com/universal-ctags/ctags/pull/3812).

However, there is one issue. @farvardin wanted to use the parser in Geany.
However, I heard from @farvardin that Geany doesn't support optlib-based 
parsers.
(https://github.com/universal-ctags/ctags/pull/3812/files#r1322116241)

Is what @farvardin wrote correct? If yes, what should we do?
