The current description (especially the "unlimited width" part) is
inaccurate in several ways:
- The size of virtual text can depend on window width. In particular,
the size of "above" virtual text can be equal to window width.
- A double-width character that doesn't fit adds 1 to the virtual column
of the following characters.
- The size of 'showbreak' and 'breakindent' is counted.

Change the second "if" to "because", otherwise it may be misinterpreted
that preinserted() can return non-zero just because these options are
set.

Problem: completion: autocompletion can be improved
Solution: Add support for "longest" and "preinsert" in 'autocomplete';
add preinserted() (Girish Palya)
* Add support for "longest" in 'completeopt' when 'autocomplete'
is enabled. (Note: the cursor position does not change automatically
when 'autocomplete' is enabled.)
* Add support for "preinsert" when 'autocomplete' is enabled. Ensure
"preinsert" works the same with and without 'autocomplete'
* introduce the preinserted() Vim script function, useful for defining
custom key mappings.

Problem: 'nowrap' in a modeline may hide malicious code.
Solution: Forcibly use '>' as 'listchars' "extends" if 'nowrap' was set
from a modeline (zeertzjq).
Manual `:setlocal nowrap` disables this behavior. There is a separate
problem with `:set nowrap` that also applies to some other options.

Cherry-pick some test_modeline.vim changes from patches 9.0.{0363,0626}.
Problem: :update should write new file buffers, but previous fix
affected special buffer types (acwrite, nofile, etc.).
Solution: Add bt_nofilename() check to only write new files for
buffers representing real filesystem paths.
Explicitly mention the "..=" compound assignment operator everywhere
".=" is documented.
Convert some uses of "." and ".=" in the examples to ".." and "..=",
respectively.

Problem: example code refers to `vim.lsp.buf.document_color`, but there
is no such thing.
Solution: replace `vim.lsp.buf.document_color` with `vim.lsp.document_color`.
Problem: completion: 'autocomplete' cannot be enabled per buffer

Problem: 'ruler' is set in defaults.vim, but not enabled by default in

Solution: set the ruler option in non-compatible mode, remove it from
defaults.vim, update tests

Problem: defaults: 'showcmd' is not enabled in non-compatible mode on
Unix
Solution: Always enable 'showcmd' in non-compatible mode, drop it from
defaults.vim.
'showcmd' was already always enabled in Vim compatible mode except for
UNIX environments. So let's just enable it always, there is no good
reason why UNIX platforms should be handled differently than other
platforms, especially since `defaults.vim` did enable this option
anyhow.

Problem:
`gx` does not work on tags in help buffers to open the documentation of that tag in the browser.
Solution:
Get the `optionlink`, `taglink` and `tag` TS nodes and set extmark "url" property.
`gx` then discovers the extmark "url" and opens it.
Problem: There is no way to ensure a stable key order when encoding a JSON string,
which can be useful for comparisons and producing cleaner diffs.
Solution: Introduce a `sort_keys` option for `vim.json.encode()`,which
is disabled by default. When enabled, object keys are sorted in
alphabetical order.
It helps to have plugins living in one common area, because it signals
to users the mechanisms for controlling them, which are typically driven
by keymaps and autocmds rather than builtin options.
We can always revisit if plugins.txt gets "too big" (for example, we may
want to introduce "project.txt" for the project concept, where
editorconfig and 'exrc' are relevant), but for now it's rather unusual
for editorconfig.txt to have its own dedicated helpfile.
Problem:
Multigrid UIs have to find out which window to send the input by using
the Nvim focus rules, which are not fully documented.
Furthermore,`getmousepos()` has several problems when multigrid is
enabled, with the main one being that screenrow and screencol are window
relative instead of screen relative, due to the fact that the UI don't
send any absolute coordinates.
Solution:
Allow passing 0 as grid to `nvim_input_mouse`, with absolute
coordinates, which lets nvim determine the actual window to send the
mouse input to. This works as long as nvim is in charge of the window
positioning. If the UI repositions or resizes the windows, it can still
pass the grid it determines like before.
Problem: A 'rulerformat' not part of the statusline is not emitted through
msg_ruler events.
Solution: Build the message chunks to emit as a msg_ruler event.
Problem: defaults: 'diffopt' option value can be improved
Solution: Update diffopt defaults to include "indent-heuristic" and
"inline:char" (Yee Cheng Chin)
The default diff options have not been updated much despite new
functionality having been added to Vim.
- indent-heurstic: This has been enabled by default in Git since
33de716387 in 2017. Given that Vim uses xdiff from Git, it makes sense
to track the default configuration from Git.
- inline:char: This turns on character-wise inline highlighting which is
generally much better than the default inline:simple. It has been
implemented since vim/vim#16881 and we have not seen reports of any issues
with it, and it has received good feedbacks.
