Problems so far:
- Marks in the current instance are not adjusted.
- Duplicates are not removed (not that it works in Vim either now, not at
8.0.134 at least).

Problem: When in Ex mode and an error is caught by try-catch, Vim still
exits with a non-zero exit code.
Solution: Don't set ex_exitval when inside a try-catch. (partly by Christian

Wrapping a command in double-quotes allows cmd.exe to safely dequote the
entire command as if the user entered the entire command in an
interactive prompt. This reduces the need to escape nested and uneven
double quotes.
The `/s` flag of cmd.exe makes the behaviour more reliable:
:set shellcmdflag=/s\ /c
Before this patch, cmd.exe cannot use cygwin echo.exe (as opposed to
cmd.exe `echo` builtin) even if it is wrapped in double quotes.
Example:
:: internal echo
> cmd /s /c " echo foo\:bar" "
foo\:bar"
:: cygwin echo.exe
> cmd /s /c " "echo" foo\:bar" "
foo:bar
It's a micro-optimization; check path_is_absolute_path(autocmd_fname)
instead.
The main optimization (which is still in place) afforded by Vim 7.2.021
was to avoid resolving <afile> when it is not needed.
During provider dispatch, eval_call_provider() saves global
state--including pointers, such as `autocmd_fname`--into
`provider_caller_scope` which is later restored by f_rpcrequest().
But `autocmd_fname` is special-cased in eval_vars(), for performance
(see Vim patch 7.2.021; this is also the singular purpose of the
`autocmd_fname_full` global. Yay!)
If eval_vars() frees `autocmd_fname` then its provider-RPC-scoped alias
becomes a problem.
Solution: Don't free autocmd_fname in eval_vars(), just copy into it.

Problem: When executing autocommands getting the full file name may be
slow. (David Kotchan)
Solution: Postpone calling FullName_save() until autocmd_fname is used.

Reasoning:
- No need to check for terminal size.
- No need to mess with terminal title.
- Allows old tests to timeout with the rest of the build proceeding.
- Less and less messy output to travis log.
- Opens a path allowing old tests run in parallel. Though last bit needs test
refactoring.
This does not change the behavior but centralizes column size for future use
(like dynamic signcolumn width depending on the maximum number of signs on a line).
The returned value is limited by the size of the `extra` tab in win_line
(currently allows for 18 ASCII characters).

UV_PROCESS_DETACHED compels libuv:uv__process_child_init() to call
setsid() in the child just after fork(). That ensures the process and
its descendants are grouped in a separate session (and process group).
The following jobstart() call correctly groups `sh` and `sleep` in a new
session (and process-group), where `sh` is the "session leader" (and
process-group leader):
:call jobstart(['sh','-c','sleep 60'])

Discussion
------------------------------------------------------------------------
On my linux box before this patch, the termclose_spec.lua:'kills job
trapping SIGTERM' test indirectly causes cmake/busted to wait for 60s.
That's because the test spawns a `sleep 60` descendant process which
hangs around even after nvim exits: nvim killed the parent PID, but not
PGID (process-group), so the grandchild "reparented" to init (PID 1).
Session contains processes (and process-groups) which are logically part
of the same "login session". Process-group is a set of
logically/informally-related processes within a session; for example,
shells assign a process group to each "job". Session IDs and PGIDs both
have type pid_t (like PIDs).
These OS-level mechanisms are, as usual, legacy accidents whose purpose
is upheld by convention and folklore. We can use session-level grouping
(setsid), or we could use process-group-level grouping (setpgid).
Vim uses setsid() if available, otherwise setpgid(0,0).

UV_PROCESS_DETACHED on win32 sets CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP flag.
But uv_kill() does not kill the process-group:
https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/3617
Ideas:
- Set UV_PROCESS_DETACHED (CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP), then call
GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent(CTRL_BREAK_EVENT, pid)
- Maybe won't work because MSDN says "Only processes that share the
same console as the calling process receive the signal."
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/console/generateconsolectrlevent
But CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP creates a new console ...

- Group processes within a "job". libuv does that *globally* for
non-detached processes: uv__init_global_job_handle.
- Iterate through CreateToolhelp32Snapshot().

- Vim does this, see terminate_all()
This means that the major way that :lmap mappings are applied works as
one would expect with macros.
This also means that having a translation with 'keymap' does not
preclude using mappings in insert mode with :imap.
If the mental model of :lmap mappings is a translation between your
keyboard and vim proper, then they should take preference over :imap
(and other) mappings. This patch makes that happen.
The mental model of :lmap and 'keymap' is of a transformation done
before anything else. Hence when recording a macro, or writing to a
scriptfile, the transformed keys should be recorded instead of the keys
before the transformation.
