Problem: Anchoring a floating window to the tabline and laststatus is
cumbersome; requiring autocommands and looping over all
windows/tabpages.
Solution: Add new "tabline" and "laststatus" options to the `relative`
field of nvim_open_win() to place a window relative to.
**Problem:** The treesitter `foldexpr` runs synchronous parses to
calculate fold levels, which eliminates async parsing performance in the
highlighter.
**Solution:** Migrate the `foldexpr` to also calculate and apply fold
levels asynchronously.
Problem:
Whether an option is allowed to be empty isn't well defined and
isn't properly checked.
Solution:
- For non-list string options, explicitly check the option value
if it is empty.
- Annotate non-list string options that can accept an empty value.
- Adjust command completion to ignore the empty value.
- Render values in Lua meta files
**Problem:** `vim.treesitter.get_parser()` and `vim.treesitter.start()`
both parse the tree before returning it. This is problematic because if
this is a sync parse, it will stall the editor on large files. If it is
an async parse, the functions return stale trees.
**Solution:** Remove this parsing side effect and leave it to the user
to parse the returned trees, either synchronously or asynchronously.
**Problem:** Parsing can be slow for large files, and it is a blocking
operation which can be disruptive and annoying.
**Solution:** Provide a function for asynchronous parsing, which accepts
a callback to be run after parsing completes.

**Problem:** Query parsing uses a weak cache which is invalidated
frequently
**Solution:** Make the cache strong, and invalidate it manually when
necessary (that is, when `rtp` is changed or `query.set()` is called)

BREAKING CHANGE: This changes the list of diagnostics that are passed to
a diagnostic handler. If a handler is already filtering by severity
itself then this won't break anything, since the handler's filtering
will become a no-op. But handlers which depend on receiving the full
list of diagnostics may break.
Note that diagnostics are only filtered if the handler's configuration
has the `severity` option set. If `severity` is not set, the handler
still receives the full list of diagnostics.
Problem:
The `nvim_notify` API (note: unrelated to `vim.notify()` Lua API) was
not given any real motivation in https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/13843
There are, and were, idiomatic and ergonomic alternatives already.
Solution:
Deprecate `nvim_notify`.
Problem: We want to deprecate `nvim_err_write(ln)()` but there is no
obvious replacement (from Lua). Meanwhile we already have
`nvim_echo()` with an `opts` argument.
Solution: Add `err` argument to `nvim_echo()` that directly maps to
`:echoerr`.
**Problem:** The treesitter `foldexpr` calls `get_parser()` for each
line in the buffer when calculating folds. This can be incredibly slow
for buffers where a parser cannot be found (because the result is not
cached), and exponentially more so when the user has many
`runtimepath`s.
**Solution:** Only fetch the parser when it is needed; that is, only
when initializing fold data for a buffer.

Problem:
`nvim -es` (and `nvim -Es`) is the recommended way to non-interactively
run commands/vimscript. But it enables shada by default, which is
usually not wanted.
Solution:
- Disable shada by default for `nvim -es/-Es`. This can be overridden by
`-i foo` if needed.
- Do NOT change the 'loadplugins' default.
- User config + packages _should_ be enabled by default, for both `nvim
-es` and `nvim -l`. Else any Lua packages you have can't be accessed
without `-u path/to/config`, which is clumsy.
- Use-cases:
```
nvim --headless "+Lazy! sync" +qa
would become: nvim -es "+Lazy! sync"
nvim --headless +PlugInstall +qall
would become: nvim -es +PlugInstall
```
- Opt-out (`--clean` or `-u NONE`) is much easier than opt-in (`-u
path/to/config`).
- User config/packages are analogous to pip packages, which are
expected when doing `python -c ...`.

Problem: Prompts are emitted as messages events, where cmdline events
are more appropriate. The user input is also emitted as
message events in fast context, so cannot be displayed with
vim.ui_attach().
Solution: Prompt for user input through cmdline prompts.
We currently enable the OSC 52 clipboard provider by setting g:clipboard
when a list of conditions are met, one of which is that $SSH_TTY must be
set. We include this condition because often OSC 52 is not the best
clipboard provider, so if there are "local" providers available Nvim
should prefer those over OSC 52.
However, if no other providers are available, Nvim should use OSC 52
even when $SSH_TTY is not set. When a user is in an SSH session then the
checks for the other clipboard providers will still (typically) fail, so
OSC 52 continues to be enabled by default in SSH sessions.
This is marked as a breaking change because there are some cases where
OSC 52 wasn't enabled before and is now (or vice versa).
vim-patch:9.1.0983: not able to get the displayed items in complete_info()
Problem: not able to get the displayed items in complete_info()
(Evgeni Chasnovski)
Solution: return the visible items via the "matches" key for
complete_info() (glepnir)

Problem: There is currently no way to check if a given path is absolute or convert a relative path to an absolute path through the Lua stdlib. `vim.fs.joinpath` does not work when the path is absolute. There is also currently no way to resolve `C:foo\bar` style paths in Windows.
Solution: Add `vim.fs.abspath`, which allows converting any path to an absolute path. This also allows checking if current path is absolute by doing `vim.fs.abspath(path) == path`. It also has support for `C:foo\bar` style paths in Windows.
If root_dir is a function it is evaluated when the client is created to
determine the root directory.
This enables dynamically determining the root directory based on e.g.
project or directory structure (example: finding a parent Cargo.toml
file that contains "[workspace]" in a Rust project).
Problem: fuzzy-matching does not prefer full match

Problem:
The :has() method of the vim.version.range() result is not documented
though it's mentioned in examples.
Solution:
Mention it in the range() result doc.
Problem: Unable to tell what highlight the prompt part of a
cmdline_show event should have, and whether cmdline_hide was
emitted after aborting.
Solution: Add additional arguments hl_id to cmdline_show, and abort to
cmdline_hide.
Problem: LSP configs on the runtimepath must have the same name as the
LSP server and must also explicitly set the name in vim.lsp.config. This
is redundant and creates a footgun where a user may accidentally use the
wrong name when assigning to the vim.lsp.config table.
Solution: Return a table from lsp/ runtimepath files instead
Problem:
`termopen` has long been a superficial wrapper around `jobstart`, and
has no real purpose. Also, `vim.system` and `nvim_open_term` presumably
will replace all features of `jobstart` and `termopen`, so centralizing
the logic will help with that.
Solution:
- Introduce `eval/deprecated.c`, where all deprecated eval funcs will live.
- Introduce "term" flag of `jobstart`.
- Deprecate `termopen`.
