**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)

Problem: filetype: various ignore are not recognized
Solution: detect rg/docker/npm/vvsce ignore files as 'gitgnore' filetype
(Wu, Zhenyu)
Not only prettier, but many programs also support ignore files (like rg,
docker, npm, vscode). So use the gitignore filetype for them due to same syntax

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: tests: ruby tests fail with Ruby 3.4
Solution: adjust expected output for Ruby 3.4
(Yee Cheng Chin)
Vim's Ruby tests relied on explicit matching of output texts which are
fragile in design. Ruby 3.4 has changed the output slightly (using
'name' instead of `name', and also using more spaces in dictionary
printouts). Modify the Vim tests to be less fragile to such changes.

Problem: leaking finished exception
(after v9.1.0984)
Solution: use finish_exception to clean up caught exceptions
(Yee Cheng Chin)
In Vimscript, v:exception/throwpoint/stacktrace are supposed to reflect
the currently caught exception, and be popped after the exception is
finished (via endtry, finally, or a thrown exception inside catch).
Vim9script does not handle this properly, and leaks them instead. This
is clearly visible when launching GVim with menu enabled. A caught
exception inside the s:BMShow() in menu.vim would show up when querying
`v:stacktrace` even though the exception was already caught and handled.
To fix this, just use the same functionality as Vimscript by calling
`finish_exception` to properly restore the states. Note that this
assumes `current_exception` is always the same as `caught_stack` which
believe should be the case.
Added tests for this. Also fix up test_stacktrace to properly test the
stack restore behavior where we have nested exceptions in catch blocks
and to also test the vim9script functionality properly.
- Also, remove its dependency on explicitly checking a line number in
runtest.vim which is a very fragile way to write tests as any minor
change in runtest.vim (shared among all tests) would require changing
test_stacktrace.vim. We don't actually need such granularity in the
test.

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`.
If a "on_lines" callback changes the structure of the marktree, the
iterator (which is used for an entire window viewport) might now
point to invalid memory. Restore the iterator to the beginning of the
line in this case.

**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: Although patch 9.1.0990 fixed a real problem/inconsistency,
it also introduced new behavior that may break BWC and/or be
unexpected. Before 9.1.0990, window commands could make the
topframe smaller (without changing 'cmdheight'; quirk that is
now fixed), but did not allow extending the topframe beyond
the 'cmdheight' set by the user. After 9.1.0990, the user can
reduce the 'cmdheight' below the value they set explicitly,
through window commands, which may lead to confusion.
(aftere v9.1.0990)
Solution: Store the value explicitly set by the user and clamp the
'cmdheight' when resizing the topframe. This also applies to
dragging laststatus, which in contrast to window commands
_did_ allow reducing the 'cmdheight' to values below the one
set by the user. So with this patch there is still new
behavior, but I think in a way that is less surprising.
While at it, also fix a Coverity warning, introduced in
v9.1.0990 (Luuk van Baal)

Problem: open_floating_preview() may be hidden behind current window if
that is floating and has a higher zindex.
Solution: Open floating preview with zindex higher than current window.
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:
If completeopt does not include "popup" flag, nvim__complete_set still
auto-creates a floating preview window.
Solution:
Fail if completeopt does not include the "popup" flag.
Problem: when popup preview buffer has filetype like markdown and ts
is enabled, the extmark clean and update not correct, if add the extmark
sync there has lots of duplicate codes like nvim_buf_set_lines.
Solution: use nvim_buf_set_lines api internally to set info to popup
preview buffer.
Problem: Inconsistent behavior when changing cmdheight by resizing the
topframe through wincmds and dragging laststatus. Changing
cmdheight by resizing the topframe does not trigger OptionSet.
Solution: Consolidate logic for changing the cmdheight, set the option
value to handle side-effects (Luuk van Baal)

Problem:
- `n.spawn()` is misleading because it also connects RPC, it's not just
"spawning" a process.
- It's confusing that `n.spawn()` and `n.spawn_argv()` are separate.
Solution:
- Replace `n.spawn()`/`n.spawn_argv()` with a single function `n.new_session()`.
This name aligns with the existing functions `n.set_session`/`n.get_session`.
- Note: removes direct handling of `prepend_argv`, but I doubt that was
important or intentional. If callers want to control use of `prepend_argv`
then we should add a new flag to `test.session.Opts`.
- Move `keep` to first parameter of `n.new_session()`.
- Add a `merge` flag to `test.session.Opts`
- Mark `_new_argv()` as private. Test should use clear/new_session/spawn_wait
instead.
Problem:
Tests that need to check `nvim` CLI behavior (no RPC session) create
their own ad-hoc `system()` wrappers.
Solution:
- Use `n.spawn_wait` instead of `system()`.
- Bonus: this also improves the tests by explicitly checking for
`stdout` or `stderr`. And if a signal is raised, `ProcStream.status`
will reflect it.
Problem:
Can't use `n.clear()` to test non-RPC `nvim` invocations. So tests end
up creating ad-hoc wrappers around `system()` or `jobstart()`.
Solution:
- Introduce `n.spawn_wait()`
- TODO (followup PR): Rename `n.spawn()` and `n.spawn_wait()`.
It's misleading that `n.spawn()` returns a RPC session...
Problem: Message grid newline formatting based on `msg_col` is not
utilized with ext_messages.
Solution: Increment `msg_col` with the cell width of the chunk. Allowing
message code that uses `msg_col` to determine when to place a
newline to do so. E.g. when the message goes beyond `Columns`;
this is not necessarily where the ext_messages implementation
would want to place a newline, but it is a best guess. Message
parsing and manipulation is still possible.

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.
