Problem: Can't use remote eval to inspect vars in debug mode.
Solution: Don't discard the call stack in debug mode. (closesvim/vim#2237, vim/vim#2247)

Problem: Get "no write since last change" error in terminal window.
Solution: Use another message when closing a terminal window. Make ":quit!"
also end the job.

Problem: Cannot tell whether a register is being used for executing or
recording.
Solution: Add reg_executing() and reg_recording(). (Hirohito Higashi,
closesvim/vim#2745) Rename the global variables for consistency. Store
the register name in reg_executing.

Problem: Placing signs can be complicated.
Solution: Add functions for defining and placing signs. Introduce a group
name to avoid different plugins using the same signs. (Yegappan
Lakshmanan, closesvim/vim#3652)

Nvim notes:
- Nvim does not support "-u DEFAULTS", that change is omitted.
- Also add 'shadafile' as an alias to 'viminfofile'.
- Deprecate 'viminfofile'.
Problem: Not easy to start Vim cleanly without changing the viminfo file.
Not possible to know whether the -i command line flag was used.
Solution: Add the --clean command line argument. Add the 'viminfofile'
option. Add "-u DEFAULTS".

Problem: Making an autocommand trigger once is not so easy.
Solution: Add the ++once argument. Also add ++nested as an alias for
"nested". (Justin M. Keyes, closesvim/vim#4100)

- Like Vim, use set_option_value() followed by reset_option_was_set().
- Do not use set_string_default(), so the default is predictable.
This affects `:set bg&`.
- Wait until end-of-startup (VimEnter) to handle the response. The
response is racey anyways, so timing is irrelevant. This allows
OptionSet to be triggered, unlike during startup.
Using 'listchars' is a nice way to highlight tabs that were included by accident
for buffers that set 'expandtab'.
But maybe one does not want this for buffers that set 'noexpandtab', so now one
can use:
autocmd FileType go let &l:listchars .= ',tab: '
Rework-of: ea7491586f
Helped-by: Björn Linse <bjorn.linse@gmail.com>
- The old (Vim) use of (char_u **)"" before ea7491586f is garbage,
which hints that this value was never used.
- The necessary condition is next to the NULL assigmnent, the pointer
would only be started to be accessed, if the length assignment next to
it is also changed.
There is various places where 'conceallevel' and 'concealcursor'
necessitates additional redraws. This tries to separate the different
cases and handle each accordingly:
- Share code with 'cursorline' for the common case: vertical move of
cursor within the same window (concealcursor not active)
- Improve the logic for managing 'concealcursor' and switching modes:
test for the case where the new mode behaves differently from the
last one.
- Clarify the special case for horizontal movement within a line when
'concealcursor' is active, now there is an if-statement only for this
and not hidden in larger check mostly for the first point.
- Keep the special case for moving between windows as is.
Problem: Custom operators can't act upon a forced motion. (Christian
Wellenbrock)
Solution: Add the forced motion to the mode() result. (Christian Brabandt,

Problem: Using an external diff program is slow and inflexible.
Solution: Include the xdiff library. (Christian Brabandt)
Use it by default.

Avoid clearing the screen in most situations. NOT_VALID should be
equivalent to CLEAR unless some external force messed up the terminal,
for these situations <c-l> and :mode will still clear the screen.
Also eliminate some obsolete code in screen.c, that dealt with that in
vim drawing window 1 can mess up window 2, but this never happens in
nvim.
But what about slow terminals? There is two common meanings in which
a terminal is said to be "slow":
Most commonly (and in the sense of vim:s nottyfast) it means low
bandwidth for sending bytes from nvim to the terminal. If the screen is
very similar before and after the update_screen(CLEAR) this change
should reduce bandwidth. If the screen is quite different, but there is
no new regions of contiguous whitespace, clearing doesn't reduce
bandwidth significantly. If the new screen contains a lot of whitespace,
it will depend of if vsplits are used or not: as long as there is no
vsplits, ce is used to cheaply clear the rest of the line, so
full-screen clear is not needed to reduce bandwith. However a left
vsplit currently needs to be padded with whitespace all the way to the
separator. It is possible ec (clear N chars) can be used to reduce
bandwidth here if this is a problem. (All of this assumes that one
doesn't set Normal guibg=... on a non-BCE terminal, if you do you are
doomed regardless of this change).
Slow can also mean that drawing pixels on the screen is slow. E-ink
screens is a recent example. Avoiding clearing and redrawing the
unchanged part of the screen will always improve performance in these
cases.
