Problem: Cannot handle binary data.
Solution: Add the Blob type. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto, closesvim/vim#3638)
6e5ea8d2a9
Nvim-specific Blob conversions are implemented in future commits.
Refactor write_blob() to use a FileDescriptor, as f_writefile() was
refactored to use one (does not apply to read_blob()).
Use var_check_lock() in f_add() for Blobs from v8.1.0897.
Add a modeline to test_blob.vim and fix some doc typos.
Include if_perl.txt's VIM::Blob() documentation. Interestingly, this
function already worked before this port, as it just returns a Blob
string literal, not an actual Blob object.
N/A patches for version.c:
vim-patch:8.1.0741: viminfo with Blob is not tested
Problem: Viminfo with Blob is not tested.
Solution: Extend the viminfo test. Fix reading a blob. Fixed storing a
special variable value.

vim-patch:8.1.1022: may use NULL pointer when out of memory
Problem: May use NULL pointer when out of memory. (Coverity)
Solution: Check for blob_alloc() returning NULL.

Converter functions use a heap-allocated stack to handle complex
nested objects. However, these are often called with simple,
primitive values like integers or bools wrapped in an Object.
Avoid the memory allocation in this case using kvec_withinit_t
Note: the reason for removing them is not that there after this refactor
is no use of them, but rather that having them available is an
anti-pattern: they manange an _extra_ heap allocation which has
nothing to do with the functionality of the map itself (khash
manages the real buffers internally). In case there happens to
be a reason to allocate the map structure itself later, this
should be made explicit using xcalloc/xfree calls.
Problem: Function call functions have too many arguments.
Solution: Pass values in a funcexe_T struct.

Use FUNCEXE_INIT to initialize funcexe_T instances.
call_callback() and other Vim listener related stuff is N/A.
* Add buffer information to tabline_update
Most terminal implementations of the tabline display buffer and tab
information. Many neovim-qt users disable GuiTabline because it lacks
functionality provided in the terminal implementation.
The tabline_update event should include buffer information too, so client GUIs
can display rich useful tabs.
This option, when set, stops nvim_open_win() from potentially firing
buffer-related autocmd events
(BufEnter, BufLeave and BufWinEnter in the case of nvim_open_win()).
