Decide whether to highlight the visual-selected character under the
cursor, depending on 'guicursor' style:
- Highlight if cursor is blinking or non-block (vertical, horiz).
- Do NOT highlight if cursor is non-blinking block.
Traditionally Vim's visual selection does "reverse mode", which perhaps
conflicts with the non-blinking block cursor. But 'guicursor' defaults
to a vertical bar for selection=exclusive, and this confuses users who
expect to see the text highlighted.

Problem: An "after" directory of a package is appended to 'rtp', which
will be after the user's "after" directory. ()
Solution: Insert the package "after" directory before any other "after"
directory in 'rtp'. (closesvim/vim#3409)
99396d4cbf
Problem: Package directory not added to 'rtp' if prefix matches.
Solution: Check the match is a full match. (Ozaki Kiichi, closesvim/vim#2817)
Also handle different ways of spelling a path.
f98a39ca57
Problem: When package path is a symlink adding it to 'runtimepath' happens
at the end.
Solution: Do not resolve symlinks before locating the position in
'runtimepath'. (Ozaki Kiichi, closesvim/vim#2604)

ref #9280
Introduce the `vim.compat` module, to help environments with system Lua
5.2+ run the build/tests. Include the module implicitly in all tests.
ref #8677
legacy `vim` module:
beep
buffer
command
dict
eval
firstline
lastline
line
list
open
type
window
In Vim (and some vestigial parts of Nvim) E319 was a placeholder for
ex_ni commands, i.e. commands that are only available in certain builds
of Vim. That is obviously counter to Nvim's goals: all Nvim commands
are available on all platforms and build types (the remaining ex_ni
commands are actually just missing providers).
We need an error id for "missing provider", so it makes sense to use
E319 for that purpose.
ref #9344
ref #3577
Problem: Using an external diff program is slow and inflexible.
Solution: Include the xdiff library. (Christian Brabandt)
Use it by default.

Up to now g:clipboard["copy"] only supported string values invoked as
system commands.
This commit enables the use of VimL functions instead. The function
signatures are the same as in provider/clipboard.vim. A clipboard
provider is expected to store and return a list of lines (i.e. the text)
and a register type (as seen in setreg()).
cache_enabled is ignored if "copy" is provided by a VimL function.
Problem: Expression evaluation may repeat an error message. (Jason
Franklin)
Solution: Increment did_emsg and check for the value when giving an error
for the echo command.
