Problem:
`vim.pos.cursor(vim.api.nvim_get_current_buf(win), vim.api.nvim_win_get_cursor(win))`
is too verbose to create a cursor position of a window,
but it is a common use case.
Solution:
Overload `vim.pos.cursor()`, so that it accepts `win` as an argument when `pos` is omitted.
Problem:
The comma form of 'winborder' is split with copy_option_part(),
whose skip_to_option_part() eats spaces after a comma, and empty
fields are rejected.
Solution:
Split the comma form literally on ',', keeping empty fields and
single-space fields.
This was originally used because we needed a lua interpreter to run the
standalone _busted_ lua application (except we used fuckery behind the
scenes to fake its binary dependencies with our own binary
dependencies). Now we longer do that, we instead run `test.harness` as a
standard nvim -l script. as this mode is no longer used in tests it
risks going to bitrot anyway.
NB: -ll mode still had some theoretical benefits like quicker
initialization and more "native" printing behavior, etc.
But we can incrementally work on "nvim -l" mode instead
of maintaining a separate special thing.
Problem:
This doc on `vim.lsp.completion.get()`:
--- Used by the default LSP |omnicompletion| provider |vim.lsp.omnifunc()|, thus |i_CTRL-X_CTRL-O|
--- invokes this in LSP-enabled buffers. Use CTRL-Y to select an item from the completion menu.
--- |complete_CTRL-Y|
...makes two wrong claims:
1. "Used by the default LSP omnicompletion provider vim.lsp.omnifunc()"
- `_omnifunc` does not call `M.get()`, it calls the internal `trigger()` directly.
2. "thus |i_CTRL-X_CTRL-O| invokes this in LSP-enabled buffers"
- The two paths use different client sets:
- `M.get()` reads `buf_handles[bufnr].clients` (clients
explicitly registered via `vim.lsp.completion.enable(true, ...)`).
- `_omnifunc` reads `lsp.get_clients({method='textDocument/completion'})` (every
completion client, regardless of `enable()`).
Solution:
Update docs.

Problem:
Diagnostic highlight groups were applied by iterating and calling
`vim.hl.range` for each group individually. That resulted in multiple
extmarks with the same priority being created separately, which does not
allow `DiagnosticUnnecessary` and `DiagnosticDeprecated` with matching
options override `Diagnostic*` styling.
Solution:
Pass the list of hl-groups to `vim.hl.range` so they are applied
together in the correct order.
Add float16_t, float32_t, float64_t, float128_t and bfloat16_t from
<stdfloat> as cppType under a new cpp_no_cpp23 guard.

Problem: Several Vim9 keywords lack EX_WHOLE and can be shortened in
Vim9 script, inconsistent with endif/enddef/endfor/endwhile/
endtry which already have it. The error from :endd in a
nested function also hardcodes "enddef" instead of reporting
what the user typed. fullcommand("ho") returns "horizontal"
even though :ho is below the documented 3-char minimum.
Solution: Add EX_WHOLE to :class, :def, :endclass, :endinterface,
:endenum, :public and :static. In get_function_body() pass
the user-typed command to the error message. Force :ho to
CMD_SIZE in find_ex_command() so fullcommand() reflects the
modifier minimum. Extend tests and documentation accordingly

Problem: filetype: Kawasaki Robots files are not recognized
Solution: Detect *.pg as kawasaki_as filetype, add filetype detection
for *.as as atlas or kawasaki_as filetype (KnoP-01).
In Kawasaki robots (https://kawasakirobotics.com/products-robots/)
AS language
*.pg is the extention for a program file and
*.as is for a complete backup.

Problem:
It is repetitive to map multiple keymaps to do the same thing. Here are some
cases where being able to do this would be useful:
-- Visual movement for both j/k and down/up:
vim.keymap.set({ 'n', 'x' }, { 'j', '<Down>' }, 'v:count == 0 ? "gj" : "j"', { expr = true })
vim.keymap.set({ 'n', 'x' }, { 'k', '<Up>' }, 'v:count == 0 ? "gk" : "k"', { expr = true })
-- Map multiple keys to `<Nop>` concisely:
vim.keymap.set({ 'n', 'x' }, { '<Leader>', '<Localleader>', '<CR>' }, '<Nop>')
-- Remove multiple keymaps at once:
vim.keymap.del('n', { 'gri', 'grn', 'grr' })
Solution:
Support the `lhs` of `vim.keymap.set()` and `vim.keymap.del()` being a table, in
the same way that `modes` can be.
Problem: The "%v" item in 'errorformat' interprets the reported
screen column using the buffer's 'tabstop', so the cursor
jumps to the wrong column when 'tabstop' is not 8
(vimpostor).
Solution: When resolving a "%v" column, always count a <tab> as 8
screen columns, independent of 'tabstop', matching the
column numbers reported by compilers; keep the multi-byte
handling. Also use "%v" in the gcc compiler file and
update the documentation (Hirohito Higashi).

Problem:
Deduplicating LSP locations in the default handler changes list behavior for every user, while some configurations may intentionally return matching locations from multiple clients.
Solution:
Document how users can deduplicate locations in an on_list handler with vim.list.unique().

Problem:
Potential documentation drift in `tui.txt` if fields for
`$NVIM_TERMDEFS` change.
Solution:
Generate docs for `tui.txt`. Add `brief_xform` to `gen_vimdoc.lua` to
allow transforming briefs during generation.
Problem:
A benefit of the old `:LspInfo` was that it showed info related to the
"current buffer" a bit more clearly.
Solution:
Highlight the "current buffer" in the LSP checkhealth report.
text-object-define is a pattern I found in tpope's plugins (e.g.
https://github.com/tpope/vim-jdaddy) which shows an elegant way to
define a text-object. (Any mistakes in the example are my fault.)
Problem:
Our documentation is incomplete or inconsistent in several ways:
- Some public APIs lack corresponding validators.
- Some public APIs lack usage examples.
- The meaning of some return values or parameters is not clearly explained.
Solution:
Add the missing validators, examples, and clarifications.
Problem:
- A window can only have one cursor, ranges selected by the cursor are typically
obtained by marks like ">" and "<", instead of calling get_cursor() twice.
- `vim.Range` is described as end-exclusive,
but the current `range.cursor()`/`range:to_cursor()` are end-inclusive.
- Conversion between `vim.Range` and mark-indexed range can be done by
`range.mark()`/`range:to_mark()`
Solution:
Remove `range.cursor()` and `range:to_cursor()`,
Problem: `nvim_exec_autocmds({ buf = ... })` matches the target buffer, but callbacks and modelines run with the caller buffer current rather than the target buffer.
Solution: Execute the buffered path in prepared target-buffer context and restore the caller afterward.
Problem:
Ranges represented by marks are usually end-inclusive,
but the range utilities we provided are end-exclusive.
Solution:
Add pos:to_mark(), pos.mark(), range:to_mark(), and range.mark().
Problem: User commands cannot handle single args with spaces
Solution: Add the -nargs=_ attribute (Maxim Kim)
-nargs=_ allow user commands to have a single argument with spaces.
For example given the following Test command and TestComplete function:
```
vim9script
def TestComplete(A: string, _: string, _: number): list<string>
var all = ["qqqq", "aaaa", "qq aa"]
return all->matchfuzzy(A)
enddef
command! -nargs=_ -complete=customlist,TestComplete Test echo <q-args>
```
`:Test q a<tab>` should successfully complete `qq aa`

Problem:
- Windows users can't use terminfo to configure their terminal
capabilities. #37274
- Terminfo definitions sometimes get out of date or are simply
inaccurate.
- Eventually, we may want to drop terminfo, relying primarily on
built-in definitions. Users will still need some flexibility.
Solution:
Support $NVIM_TERMDEFS environment variable, which is JSON data that
defines "terminfo" definitions that override our builtin terminfo.
Problem:
During startup, we manually trigger a useless and misleading `OptionSet`
event, which doesn't set `v:option_*` values (this is a limitation of
`nvim_exec_autocmds`).
ad4bc2d90c/runtime/lua/vim/_core/defaults.lua (L939).
Solution:
The `nvim_exec_autocmds('OptionSet',…)` call does not serve any purpose
since 5cbb9d613b, so just drop it.
Problem: There is no way for a `vim.ui.input` caller to indicate for
which scope the input is. As in "This input is for something at cursor
scope". This information can be useful for `vim.ui.input`
implementation to tweak its behavior and presentation:
- Show different floating window depending on the scope. For example:
- Near cursor for "cursor" scope.
- At line start for "line" scope.
- In window corner for "buffer" and "window" scopes.
- In whole editor corner for "tabpage", "editor", "project" scopes.
- Navigate through history only for inputs with the same scope.
Solution: Document new `opts.scope` for `vim.ui.input`. Use it in the
codebase.
