+# `/src/syntax_mapping/builtins`
+
+The files in this directory define path/name-based syntax mappings, which amend
+and take precedence over the extension/content-based syntax mappings provided by
+[syntect](https://github.com/trishume/syntect).
+
+## File organisation
+
+Each TOML file should describe the syntax mappings of a single application, or
+otherwise a set of logically-related rules.
+
+What defines "a single application" here is deliberately vague, since the
+file-splitting is purely for maintainability reasons. (Technically, we could
+just as well use a single TOML file.) So just use common sense.
+
+TOML files should reside in the corresponding subdirectory of the platform(s)
+that they intend to target. At compile time, the build script will go through
+each subdirectory that is applicable to the compilation target, collect the
+syntax mappings defined by all TOML files, and embed them into the binary.
+
+## File syntax
+
+Each TOML file should contain a single section named `mappings`, with each of
+its keys being a language identifier (first column of `bat -L`; also referred to
+as "target").
+
+The value of each key should be an array of strings, with each item being a glob
+matcher. We will call each of these items a "rule".
+
+For example, if `foo-application` uses both TOML and YAML configuration files,
+we could write something like this:
+
+```toml
+# 30-foo-application.toml
+[mappings]
+"TOML" = [
+    # rules for TOML syntax go here
+    "/usr/share/foo-application/toml-config/*.conf",
+    "/etc/foo-application/toml-config/*.conf",
+]
+"YAML" = [
+    # rules for YAML syntax go here
+    # ...
+]
+```
+
+### Dynamic environment variable replacement
+
+In additional to the standard glob matcher syntax, rules also support dynamic
+replacement of environment variables at runtime. This allows us to concisely
+handle things like [XDG](https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/latest/).
+
+All environment variables intended to be replaced at runtime must be enclosed in
+`${}`, for example `"/foo/*/${YOUR_ENV}-suffix/*.log"`. Note that this is the
+**only** admissible syntax; other variable substitution syntaxes are not
+supported and will either cause a compile time error, or be treated as plain
+text.
+
+For example, if `foo-application` also supports per-user configuration files, we
+could write something like this:
+
+```toml
+# 30-foo-application.toml
+[mappings]
+"TOML" = [
+    # rules for TOML syntax go here
+    "/usr/share/foo-application/toml-config/*.conf",
+    "/etc/foo-application/toml-config/*.conf",
+    "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/foo-application/toml-config/*.conf",
+    "${HOME}/.config/foo-application/toml-config/*.conf",
+]
+"YAML" = [
+    # rules for YAML syntax go here
+    # ...
+]
+```
+
+If any environment variable replacement in a rule fails (for example when a
+variable is unset), or if the glob string after replacements is invalid, the
+entire rule will be ignored.
+
+### Explicitly mapping to unknown
+
+Sometimes it may be necessary to "unset" a particular syntect mapping - perhaps
+a syntax's matching rules are "too greedy", and is claiming files that it should
+not. In this case, there are two special identifiers:
+`MappingTarget::MapToUnknown` and `MappingTarget::MapExtensionToUnknown`
+(corresponding to the two variants of the `syntax_mapping::MappingTarget` enum).
+
+An example of this would be `*.conf` files in general. So we may write something
+like this:
+
+```toml
+# 99-unset-ambiguous-extensions.toml
+[mappings]
+"MappingTarget::MapExtensionToUnknown" = [
+    "*.conf",
+]
+```
+
+## Ordering
+
+At compile time, all TOML files applicable to the target are processed in
+lexicographical filename order. So `00-foo.toml` takes precedence over
+`10-bar.toml`, which takes precedence over `20-baz.toml`, and so on. Note that
+**only** the filenames of the TOML files are taken into account; the
+subdirectories they are placed in have no influence on ordering.
+
+This behaviour can be occasionally useful for creating high/low priority rules,
+such as in the aforementioned example of explicitly mapping `*.conf` files to
+unknown. Generally this should not be much of a concern though, since rules
+should be written as specifically as possible for each application.
+
+Rules within each TOML file are processed (and therefore matched) in the order
+in which they are defined. At runtime, the syntax selection algorithm will
