--- Reads an API file.
--- Each non-empty line in the API file is structured as follows:
---   identifier (parameters) description
--- Whitespace is optional, but can used for formatting. In description, '\\n'
--- will be interpreted as a newline (\n) character. 'Overloaded' identifiers
--- are handled appropriately.
--- @param filename The absolute path to the API file to read.
--- @param word_chars Characters considered to be word characters for
---   determining the identifier to lookup. Its contents should be in Lua
---   pattern format suitable for the character class construct.
--- @return API table.
--- @usage textadept.io.read_api_file(filename, '%w_')
