Not all programming languages support comments; without such
support, the TEST_SETUP functionality that offers embeddable
Vim Ex commands may no longer be applicable.
We can achieve similar functionality by storing Ex commands
in a Vim file with its basename matching the basename of the
test file, and having this Vim file sourced, and then having
the test file loaded and tested. When such a Vim file would
be used for a language that has comments and whose matching
test file has embedded TEST_SETUP lines, we will accommodate
it by letting the TEST_SETUP lines augment and/or overrule
sourced configuration.

Currently, the very same syntax file for which a test can
be written is the only place where global variables can be
defined so that the file parts guarded with such variables
can be read during screen dump generation. This approach
would lead to littering the syntax file with test-related
queries.
Instead, we could borrow the idea of comment-based mechanism
for test setup from the indent test runner. With it, the
first 20 lines of each test file would be ALWAYS scanned in
search of the TEST_SETUP markers and, when found, the part
between the end of the marker and the end of the line would
be treated as a Vim Ex command.
Note that with these changes, runtime/defaults.vim is no
longer sourced for screen dump generation; however, some of
its functionality is reintroduced.
