When combining attributes use the one that takes priority.
For :highlight command use the last one specified.
For API use a hard-coded order same as the order in docs.
Problem:
The Lua-API bridge allows Dict params to be empty Lua (list) tables at
the function-signature level. But not for _nested_ Dicts, because they
are not modeled:
https://github.com/neovim/neovim/blob/fae754073289566051433fae74ec65783f9e7a6a/src/nvim/api/keysets.lua#L184
Some API functions like nvim_cmd check for kObjectTypeDictionary and
don't handle the case of empty Lua tables (treated as "Array").
Solution:
Introduce VALIDATE_T_DICT and use it in places where
kObjectTypeDictionary was being checked directly.
fixes#21005
Problem:
Validation messages are not consistently formatted.
- Parameter names sometimes are NOT quoted.
- Descriptive names (non-parameters) sometimes ARE quoted.
Solution:
Always quote the `name` value passed to a VALIDATE macro _unless_ the
value has whitespace.
Problem:
- API validation involves too much boilerplate.
- API validation errors are not consistently worded.
Solution:
Introduce some macros. Currently these are clumsy, but they at least
help with consistency and avoid some nesting.
The original motivation for this change came from developping
https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/22159, which will require adding
more autocommand creation to Neovim's startup sequence.
This change requires lightly editing a test that expected no autocommand
to have been created from lua.
Problem: Allocated click function memory is lost due to
`nvim_eval_statusline()` not passing in a `StlClickRecord`.
Solution: Do not allocate click function memory if `tabtab == NULL`.
Resolve#21764, supersede #21842.
Problem:
Tests that _intentionally_ fail certain conditions cause noise in
$NVIM_LOG_FILE:

E970: Failed to initialize builtin lua modules
Solution:
- Log to a private $NVIM_LOG_FILE in tests that intentionally fail and
cause ERR log messages.
- Assert that the expected messages are actually logged.
Extend the capabilities of is_os to detect more platforms such as
freebsd and openbsd. Also remove `iswin()` helper function as it can be
replaced by `is_os("win")`.
This is essentially a convenience wrapper around the `pending()`
function, similar to `skip_fragile()` but more general-purpose.
Also remove `pending_win32` function as it can be replaced by
`skip(iswin())`.
Adds a `name` key to the opts dict passed to Lua command callbacks
created using `nvim_create_user_command()`. This is useful for when
multiple commands use the same callback.
Note that this kind of behavior is not as strange as one might think,
even some internal Neovim commands reuse the same internal C function,
differing their behavior by checking the command name. `substitute`,
`smagic` and `snomagic` are examples of that.
This will also be useful for generalized Lua command preview functions
that can preview a wide range of commands, in which case knowing the
command name is necessary for the preview function to actually be able
to execute the command that it's supposed to preview.
