Problem: Ext_messages chunks only contain the highlight attr id, which
is not very useful for vim.ui_attach() consumers.
Solotion: Add highlight group id to message chunks, which can easily be
used to highlight text in the TUI through nvim_buf_set_extmark():
hl_group = synIDattr(id, "name").
This is needed specifically for the second signature of
add_custom_command, which appends an operation to an existing target.
This will prevent the cmake warning CMP0175.
Reference: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/policy/CMP0175.html
Problem: Highlight group id is not propagated to the end of the message call
stack, where ext_messages are emitted.
Solution: Refactor message functions to pass along highlight group id
instead of attr id.
Problem:
The `varp` argument for `set_option` is extraneous as the option's
variable pointer can be retrieved using the option's index and flags.
Solution:
Remove the `varp` argument for `set_option`
Problem: Inccommand preview callback may flush inaccurate cmdline cursor position.
Solution: Ensure cursor is where it belongs when doing command preview.
Problem: Can receive dozens of <MouseMove> events for same cell position. #30965
Solution: Leverage check_multiclick() to detect if cell position is unchanged.
Problem:
There are three different ways of marking an option as hidden, `enable_if
= false`, `hidden = true` and `immutable = true`. These also have different
behaviors. Options hidden with `enable_if = false` can't have their value
fetched using Vim script or the API, but options hidden with `hidden = true` or
`immutable = true` can. On the other hand, options with `hidden = true` do not
error when trying to set their value, but options with `immutable = true` do.
Solution:
Remove `enable_if = false`, remove the `hidden` property for options, and use
`immutable = true` to mark an option as hidden instead. Also make hidden option
variable pointers always point to the default value, which allows fetching the
value of every hidden option using Vim script and the API. This does also mean
that trying to set a hidden option will now give an error instead of just being
ignored.
while the implementation is not tied to screen chars, it is a reasonable
expectation to support the same size. If nvim is able to display a
multibyte character, it will accept the same character as input,
including in normal mode commands like r{char}
Problem: :setglobal doesn't work properly for 'ffu' and 'tsrfu' when
the local value is set (after v9.1.0831)
Solution: Check os_flags instead of buffer option variable (zeertzjq).

Problem: `get_option_value_for` can perfectly replace `get_option_value_strict`, making the latter redundant.
Solution: Remove `get_option_value_strict`
Problem:
There are three separate functions for printing the `:set` command for
an setting an option to a file descriptor. These functions are used when
creating the session file for an option. Having a function for each type
increase code duplication and also makes it harder to add logic for new
option types.
Solution:
Replace `put_set(num|bool|string)` with a single `put_set` function
which works for all option types, this reduces code duplication and also
makes it trivial to add support for more option types in the future.
Problem: too many strlen() calls in register.c
Solution: refactor code, add string_T struct to keep track

Problem: both `PmenuMatch` and `PmenuMatchSel` can provide helpful
information about characters which actually match query in completion
candidates. This is not as useful with default regular match, but much
more useful with 'completopt+=fuzzy'.
Solution: make both highlight groups bold. This will also affect
(i.e. benefit) other color schemes which do not define groups
separately.
This is possible since the recently merged changes to `PmenuMatch` and
`PmenuMatchSel` combine attributes with underlying "base" groups.

Problem: topline might be changed in diff mode unexpectedly
(Jaehwang Jung)
Solution: do not re-calculate topline, when using line() func

`-NonInteractive` at least somewhat hints to pwsh/powershell, that shell
sessions created from :! are not interactive, though even that is not
foolproof, because powershell is weird.
`$PSStyle.OutputRendering='plaintext'` causes pwsh/powershell
to omit ANSI escape sequences in its output.
Problem: 'findexpr' completion doesn't set v:fname to cmdline argument.
Solution: Set v:fname to the cmdline argument as-is (zeertzjq).

Problem: Currently we use macros with hardcoded flag values for option flags, which is messy and requires a lot of mental math for adding / removing option flags. Using macros for option flags also means that they cannot be used inside debuggers.
Solution: Create a new `OptFlags` enum that stores all the option flags in an organized way that is easier to understand.
Problem: Selecting an item in the right-click menu when clicking to the
left/right of it is confusing, especially in a UI that doesn't
support 'mousemoveevent'.
Solution: Don't select an item when clicking to the left/right of the
right-click menu.
Instead of keeping `P_ALLOCED` and `P_DEF_ALLOCED` flags to check if an
option value is allocated, always allocate option values to simplify the
logic.
Ref: #25672
* deprecate old signatures
* move to new str_byteindex/str_utfindex signature
* use single-underscore name (double-underscore is reserved for Lua itself)
Problem: We use `void *` for option default values, which is confusing and can cause problems with type-correctness. It also doesn't accomodate for multitype options. On top of that, it also leads to default boolean option values not behaving correctly on big endian systems.
Solution: Use `OptVal` for option default values.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `:set {option}<` removes the local value for all global-local options instead of just string global-local options.
- `:setlocal {option}<` copies the global value to the local value for number and boolean global-local options instead of removing the local value.
Problem: mapset() may remove unrelated mapping whose {rhs} matches the
restored mapping's {lhs}.
Solution: only match by {lhs} when unmapping for mapset() (zeertzjq).

PROBLEM:
There are several limitations to vim.str_byteindex, vim.str_utfindex:
1. They throw given out-of-range indexes. An invalid (often user/lsp-provided)
index doesn't feel exceptional and should be handled by the caller.
`:help dev-error-patterns` suggests that `retval, errmsg` is the preferred
way to handle this kind of failure.
2. They cannot accept an encoding. So LSP needs wrapper functions. #25272
3. The current signatures are not extensible.
* Calling: The function currently uses a fairly opaque boolean value to
indicate to identify the encoding.
* Returns: The fact it can throw requires wrapping in pcall.
4. The current name doesn't follow suggestions in `:h dev-naming` and I think
`get` would be suitable.
SOLUTION:
- Because these are performance-sensitive, don't introduce `opts`.
- Introduce an "overload" that accepts `encoding:string` and
`strict_indexing:bool` params.
```lua
local col = vim.str_utfindex(line, encoding, [index, [no_out_of_range]])
```
Support the old versions by dispatching on the type of argument 2, and
deprecate that form.
```lua
vim.str_utfindex(line) -- (utf-32 length, utf-16 length), deprecated
vim.str_utfindex(line, index) -- (utf-32 index, utf-16 index), deprecated
vim.str_utfindex(line, 'utf-16') -- utf-16 length
vim.str_utfindex(line, 'utf-16', index) -- utf-16 index
vim.str_utfindex(line, 'utf-16', math.huge) -- error: index out of range
vim.str_utfindex(line, 'utf-16', math.huge, false) -- utf-16 length
```
