Problem:
- Extmark breaks lesson 3.1 of vim-01-beginner.tutor because when users
delete the line and put it elsewhere, the extmark doesn't move to the
put location.
- This doesn't mean the extmark implementation is bad though (note that
thanks to extmark, for the first time, we can make lesson 2.6 really
interactive), it's just that the tutor format has never been made for
kinds of lessons like lesson 3.1, which is why all "expected" in that
lesson are -1, which also means that lesson is not interactive in the
first place. Also see lesson 2.1.3 in vim-02-beginner, where the mark
is just used to mark the first line of the exercise, which also prove
my point.
Solution:
- For a not-really-interactive lesson like lesson 3.1, just use legacy
syntax. I borrow the old vimtutor's `--->` to mark the exercises of
the lesson.
- Less redundant interactive marks also make the json files smaller and
more maintainable.
Problem:
- Lesson 7.3 (Cmdline Completion) teaches an important way to discover
Nvim features. I think users should learn it before they start
configuring Nvim
- Nvim can be configured in Lua as well, but lesson 7.2 (Configuring
Nvim) only mentions init.vim. And I think Nvim is promoting Lua more
Solution:
- Move lesson 7.2 to be after lesson 7.3
- Lesson 7.2 should teach about init.lua

(cherry picked from commit dd43eb445a)
Problem: Some parts of the tutor are outdated.
- For example, pressing `<Tab>` after typing `:e` does not complete the
command `:edit`, but shows a completion menu with the first entry being
`:earlier`.
