Problem:
`K` in help files may fail in some noisy text. Example:
(`fun(config: vim.lsp.ClientConfig): boolean`)
^cursor
Solution:
- `:help!` (bang, no args) activates DWIM behavior: tries `<cWORD>`,
then trims punctuation until a valid tag is found.
- Set `keywordprg=:help!` by default.
- Does not affect `CTRL-]`, that is still fully "tags" based.
Problem: only possible to move floats between tabpages if relative=win, which
has the restrictive effect of also anchoring it to the target window.
Solution: allow "win" without "relative" or "split"/"vertical". Only assume
missing "win" is 0 if relative=win is given to maintain that behaviour. (or when
configuring a new window)
Also add an error when attempting to change a split into a float that's in
another tabpage, as this isn't actually supported yet. (until the next commit)
Maybe this could do with some bikeshedding. Unclear if "win" should require
"relative" to be given, like with "row"/"col"; this can be annoying though as
specifying "relative" requires other fields to be given too.
Problem: `get_doc` throws error with "attempt to get length of a userdata
value" when `item.documentation` is truthy but not a string (e.g. vim.NIL
from a JSON null).
Solution: Check `type(item.documentation)` before taking its length.
Problem: Statusline component of diagnostics allows only the default
format "sign:count".
Solution: Extend vim.diagnostic.Opts.Status to allow a custom signs
or formatting function that provides the status presentation.
Problem: Mimicked block mode for cmdline entered while expanded
does not work intuitively for repeated commands yielding
messages exceeding the screen height. The expanded cmdline
resizes and scrolls to bottom/top when appending a message
and entering the cmdline. Also includes the entered command,
as opposed to the UI1 behavior.
Crash when scrolling to bottom of pager due to recursive
uv_run after shell message callback executes `nvim_command()`
with 'showcmd'.
Solution: Still mimic block mode when entering the expanded cmdline,
but when the entered command emits a message open the pager
with the current message content in the expanded cmdline.
Always route typed commands to the pager when it is open.
Use `nvim_buf_set_cursor()` instead of `nvim_command()`.
refactor(lua): add integer coercion helpers
Add vim._tointeger() and vim._ensure_integer(), including optional base
support, and switch integer-only tonumber()/assert call sites in the Lua
runtime to use them.
This also cleans up related integer parsing in LSP, health, loader, URI,
tohtml, and Treesitter code.

Problem:
In autocmd examples, using "args" as the event-object name is vague and
may be confused with a user-command.
Solution:
Use "ev" as the conventional event-object name.
Problem:
If NVIM_LOG_FILE, or the default fallback, is inaccessible (e.g.
directory is owned by root), users get confused.
Solution:
Show a warning when $NVIM_LOG_FILE or $XDG_STATE_HOME are inaccessible.
Also fix a latent memory leak: `os_mkdir_recurse` returns a uv error
code (int), but it was stored as `bool`, causing `os_strerror` to
receive an invalid error code and leak memory.

Problem:
In aec3d7915c Vim changed prompt-buffers
to respect 'modified' so the termdebug plugin can "control closing the
window". But for most use-cases (REPL, shell, AI "chat", …),
prompt-buffers are in practice always "modified", and no way to "save"
them, so *implicitly* setting 'modified' is noisy and annoying.
Solution:
Don't implicitly set 'modified' when a prompt-buffer is updated.
Plugins/users can still explicitly set 'modified', which will then
trigger the "E37: No write since last change" warning.
Problem:
No completionItem/resolve handler.
Solution:
If completeopt=popup is set, invoke completionItem/resolve when
a completion item is selected. Show resolved documentation in popup next
to the completion menu.
Problem:
Under certain circumstances (e.g. gzipped manpages with mandoc),
:Man will not find the correct page because it does not process
multiple extensions correctly.
For example, with a file named strcpy.3p.gz, it will only check the .gz
part to try to check the section.
This leads to some pages being inaccessible because it will return the
page from the wrong section.
Solution:
Loop and try multiple extensions to try to find one which matches
the name of the section.
Also refactor the man.get_path function so that it can be tested.
Problem:
When a terminal process exits, "[Process Exited]" text is added
to the buffer contents.
Solution:
- Return `exitcode` field from `nvim_get_chan_info`.
- Show it in the default 'statusline'.
- Show exitcode as virtual text in the terminal buffer.
Problem
The logic that clears codelenses beyond the buffer also removes the codelenses on the last line.
Solution
Do not clear the codelens on the last line.
Problem:
There is an inconsistency between extmarks/highlights regarding the
`end_col` param.
Solution:
Allow end_col=-1 to mean "end of line" (if strict=false).

Problem: Documentation of `vim.pack.update()` contains a lot of text
inside nested list. This might be a bit confusing to parse for humans
and definitely confusing to parse for neovim.io.
The description of `vim.pack` directory is not correct for Windows.
Solution: Move description of confirmation buffer in a separate
"subsection".
Use '"data" standard path' instead of '$XDG_DATA_HOME/nvim' when
documenting directory. Also use `|standard-path|` tag to link to
standard path section instead of `|stdpath()|`.
Problem: Expanded cmdline is left open after entering the cmdline again
without entering a command that emits another message (after 301c7065).
Solution: Wait for msg_show to reinstate the vim.on_key() handler.
If there was no message close the expanded cmdline.
Problem: Prompts and message text (in block mode) in the cmdline are
parsed and highlighted as if it is Vimscript.
Entering the cmdline while it is expanded can work more like
it does with UI1, where the press enter prompt is replaced
and previous messages stay on the message grid, while
subsequent messages are placed below it.
Solution: Highlight manually with string parser on lines starting with ':'.
Spoof cmdline block mode when the cmdline is entered while it
is expanded.
Problem: Previous tests for this relied on other events opening the
targets, which are not guaranteed to happen.
Solution: Open target windows when entering a new tabpage.
Problem: nightly builds were always compared against HEAD, causing
false outdated warnings.
Solution: fetch both HEAD and refs/tags/nightly, match local commit
against HEAD first, fall back to nightly if no match.
Fix#38141
Hyphenated language names are silently dropped when used as injections
(see #38132).
This combines the normalization of language aliases into `resolve_lang`,
and also adds the normalization of hyphens to underscores, which allows
for handling of injected language tags with hyphens in their names.
Fixes#38132.
Problem: Unable to immediately open a typed command in the pager.
Solution: Support mapping msg_show "typed_cmd" trigger in
cfg.msg.targets (e.g. `targets = { typed_cmd = 'pager' }`).
Problem: During initial "bootstrap" via lockfile synchronization, the
whole plugin specification is reconstructed from the lockfile data,
ignoring potential user changes added in the first `vim.pack.add()`.
This is enough in most situations since it is the only data needed
for actual installation.
However, this affects specification passed to `PackChanged[Pre]`
events. In particular, `data` field is missing which can be a problem
if there is a `PackChanged kind=install` hook that uses that field
(like with some kind of `build` method used during install).
And there might be different `version` set in `vim.pack.add()`.
Solution: Pass the `specs` input of the first `vim.pack.add()` down to
lockfile synchronization and use it to reconstruct plugin
specification for the to-be-installed plugin. If present among the
user's `specs`, it is used but with forced `src` from the lockfile (as
it is the one used during installation).
Note that this still has a caveat when using separate
`vim.pack.add()`, as only the specs from the first input (when the
lockfile synchronization happens) is taken into account.
Problem: nvim_win_get_config() does not return a window's "style".
Solution: always include it, and document `style=""`.
Always included so it can be used reciprocally with nvim_open_win() or
nvim_win_set_config(). (otherwise the config of a window with kWinStyleUnused
will not unset the kWinStyleMinimal style of another window if passed to
nvim_win_set_config, for example)
