Problem: Not possible to only set a "redraw later" type with
nvim__redraw, which seems to be desired for the
treesitter highlighter.
Solution: Do not update the screen when "flush" is explicitly set to
false and only redraw later types are present. In that case,
do not call ui_flush() either.
**Problem:** Despite the LSP providing the option for language servers
to specify a range with a hover response (for highlighting), Neovim does
not give the option to highlight this range.
**Solution:** Add an option to `buf.hover()` which causes this range to
be highlighted.

Problem: nvim__redraw's "range" marks a buffer range for redraw, and subsequently
flushes the UI without updating the windows containing that buffer.
Solution: Implicitly update the screen, unless specified otherwise.
Only update the screen with the last call of the treesitter
on_changedtree() callback.
Problem: Separate message emitted for each newline present in Lua
print() arguments.
Solution: Make msg_multiline() handle NUL bytes. Refactor print() to use
msg_multiline(). Refactor vim.print() to use print().
Problem: Documentation for "hl_group" in nvim_buf_set_extmark() is
unclear. "hl_group" in nvim_echo() does not accept
highlight group id.
Solution: Move documentation for highlight group name/id to first
mention of hl_group. Update nvim_echo() to accept highlight
group id.
Problem: Floating windows with focusable set to false can reasonably be
expected to be UI elements but are listed in some outputs that
should contain only regular windows.
Solution: Hide unfocusable floating windows from the default tabline and
:tabs.
Problem:
The way option scopes currently work is inflexible and does not allow for nested
option scopes or easily finding the value of an option at any arbitrary scope
without having to do long handwritten switch-case statements like in
`get_varp()`. `.indir` is also confusing and redundant since option indices for
each scope can be autogenerated.
Solution:
Expand option scopes in such a way that an option can support any amount of
scopes using a set of scope flags, similarly to how it's already done for option
types. Also make options contain information about its index at each scope it
supports. This allows for massively simplifying `get_varp()` and
`get_varp_scope()` in the future by just using a struct for options at each
scope. This would be done by creating a table that stores the offset of an
option's variable at a scope by using the option's index at that scope as a key.
This PR also autogenerates enums for option indices at each scope to remove the
need for `.indir` entirely, and also to allow easily iterating over options all
options that support any scope.

Problem: No longer able to show prompt messages with vim.ui_attach().
Solution: Do not execute callback in fast context for prompt message
kinds. These events must be safe to show the incoming message
so the event itself serves to indicate that the message
should be shown immediately.
Problem: setting 'cmdheight' may cause hit-enter-prompt and echo output
to be missing
Solution: Before cleaning the cmdline, check the need_wait_return flag

Problem: message history is fixed to 200
Solution: Add the 'msghistory' option, increase the default
value to 500 (Shougo Matsushita)

Problem: Lua callbacks for "msg_show" events with vim.ui_attach() are
executed when it is not safe.
Solution: Disallow non-fast API calls for "msg_show" event callbacks.
Automatically detach callback after excessive errors.
Make sure fast APIs do not modify Nvim state.
**Problem:** Currently node names with non-alphanumeric, non
underscore/hyphen characters (only possible with anonymous nodes) are
not given a proper error message. See tree-sitter issue 3892 for more
details.
**Solution:** Apply a different scanning logic to anonymous nodes to
correctly identify the entire node name (i.e., up until the final double
quote)
Problem: Crash when initializing for --startuptime errors.
Solution: Report the error to stderr, as neither logging nor messages
have been initialized yet.
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).
closes: vim/vim#159806eda269600
Problem: :set doesn't work for 'cot' and 'bkc' after :setlocal.
Solution: clear the local flags when using :set (zeertzjq).
