Problem: More functions can be used as a method.
Solution: Add append(), appendbufline(), assert_equal(), etc.
Also add the :eval command.
25e42231d3
:eval is already ported.
Problem: All builtin functions are global.
Solution: Add the method call operator ->. Implemented for a limited number
of functions.

- Note that to *exactly* port hunk @@ -7376,18 +7444,19 from
handle_subscript(), we need the :scriptversion patches (I have an open
PR for those, but this patch works fine without them anyway).
- Port call_internal_func() from v7.4.2058.
- Adjust some error messages in tests, as they rely on the Blob patches.
- Add a modeline to test_method.vim.
Ignore the global_functions and base_method tables and prefer the
current GPerf implementation. Instead, add an extra base_arg field to
VimLFuncDef that holds the number of the argument to use as the base
(1-indexed, so that 0 may be used to refer to functions that cannot be
used as methods).
This also means we support using any argument as a base from the get-go,
rather than just the first (Vim includes this ability in future patches,
however).
To mark a function as usable as a method, use the "base" key as
described in eval.lua.
Problem: Using getchar() in Vim9 script is problematic.
Solution: Add getcharstr(). (closesvim/vim#8343)
3a7503c34c
Cherry-pick Test_getchar() changes from patch v8.1.2304
to sync with upstream.
Port f_getcharstr() to src/nvim/eval/funcs.c, not src/nvim/getchar.c.
Patch v8.1.2042 is not ported yet.
Problem: Cannot get the search statistics.
Solution: Add the searchcount() function. (Fujiwara Takuya, closesvim/vim#4446)
e8f5ec0d30
Additional changes:
- Tests weren't passing because the test ran assuming the cursor was at
start of buffer but append() left the cursor at end of buffer .
So cursor is moved to start of buffer after append.
- searchcount() added to list of builtin functions.
Problem: Cannot read back the prompt of a prompt buffer.
Solution: Add prompt_getprompt(). (Ben Jackson, closesvim/vim#6851)
077cc7aa0e
Updated prompt_getprompt() doc to cb80aa2d53
and removed mention of method syntax usage (not supported by Nvim).
...signs is slow
Problem: Placing a larger number of signs is slow.
Solution: Add functions for dealing with a list of signs. (Yegappan
Lakshmanan, closes#4636)
Problem: When 'matchpairs' is empty every character beeps. (Marco Hinz)
Solution: Bail out when no character in 'matchpairs' was found.
(closesvim/vim#8053) Add assert_nobeep().

Problem: shiftwidth() does not take 'vartabstop' into account.
Solution: Use the cursor position or a position explicitly passed.
Also make >> and << work better with 'vartabstop'. (Christian
Brabandt)

Problem: Cannot parse a date/time string.
Solution: Add strptime(). (Stephen Wall, closes #)
10455d43fe
N/A patches for version.c:
vim-patch:8.1.2344: Cygwin: warning for using strptime()
Problem: Cygwin: warning for using strptime().
Solution: Move defining _XOPEN_SOURCE and __USE_XOPEN to vim.h. (Ken Takata,
closesvim/vim#5265) Use 700 for _XOPEN_SOURCE for mkdtemp().
6a228c6463
Problem: Cannot easily get all the current marks.
Solution: Add getmarklist(). (Yegappan Lakshmanan, closes#6032)
cfb4b47de0
Cherry-pick the column number fix from patch v8.2.0871
because patch v8.2.0871 cannot be fully ported
without the method patches.

Solution: Add an argument to only trim the beginning or end. (Yegappan
Lakshmanan, closesvim/vim#6126)

Solution: Add the interrupt() function. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto, closesvim/vim#2834)

Problem: Cannot delete a match from another window. (Paul Jolly)
Solution: Add window ID argument to matchdelete(), clearmatches(),
getmatches() and setmatches(). (Andy Massimino, closesvim/vim#4178)

Respect 'modified' in a prompt buffer.

Problem: json_encode() does not handle NaN and inf properly. (David
Barnett)
Solution: For JSON turn them into "null". For JS use "NaN" and "Infinity".
Add isnan().

Solution: Add environ(), getenv() and setenv(). (Yasuhiro Matsumoto,
closesvim/vim#2875)

Problem: Cannot change a line in a buffer other than the current one.
Solution: Add setbufline(). (Yasuhiro Matsumoto, Ozaki Kiichi, closesvim/vim#1953)

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.
