Problem:
The nvim_win_xx_ns function family introduced in ba0370b1d7
needs more bake-time. Currently it's narrowly defined for windows, but
other scopes ("buffer") and features are likely in the future.
Solution:
- Rename the API with double-underscore to mark it as EXPERIMENTAL.
TODO/FUTURE:
- Rename and change the signature to support more than just "window"
scope, and for other flexibility.
- Open question: we could choose either:
- "store scopes on namespaces", or
- "store namespaces on scopes (w:/b:/…)"
Experimental and subject to future changes.
Add a way to redraw certain elements that are not redrawn while Nvim is waiting
for input, or currently have no API to do so. This API covers all that can be
done with the :redraw* commands, in addition to the following new features:
- Immediately move the cursor to a (non-current) window.
- Target a specific window or buffer to mark for redraw.
- Mark a buffer range for redraw (replaces nvim__buf_redraw_range()).
- Redraw the 'statuscolumn'.
This reverts commit 15e77a56b7.
Subpriorities were added in https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/27131
as a mechanism for enforcing query order when using iter_matches in the
Tree-sitter highlighter. However, iter_matches proved to have too many
complications to use in the highlighter so we eventually reverted back
to using iter_captures (https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/27901).
Thus, subpriorities are no longer needed and can be removed.
Based on feedback from #28324, pass -H and -I to regular grep
(available on all platforms officially supported by Neovim), and
only pass -uu to ripgrep. This makes :grep ignore binary files by
default in both cases.
Problem: String interpolation fails for Dict type
Solution: Support Dict data type properly, also support :put =Dict
(without having to convert it to string() first)

Problem: noautocmd is confusing; despite its name, it doesn't block all
autocommands (instead it blocks only those related to setting the buffer), and
is commonly used by plugins to open windows while producing minimal
side-effects.
Solution: be consistent and block all autocommands when noautocmd is set.
This includes WinNew (again), plus autocommands from entering the window (if
enter is set) like WinEnter, WinLeave, TabEnter, .etc.
See the discussion at https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/14659#issuecomment-2040029517
for more information.
Remove win_set_buf's noautocmd argument, as it's no longer needed.
NOTE: pum_create_float_preview sets noautocmd for win_set_buf, but all its
callers already use block_autocmds.
Despite that, pum_create_float_preview doesn't actually properly handle
autocommands (it has no checks for whether those from win_enter or
nvim_create_buf free the window).
For now, ensure autocommands are blocked within it for correctness (in case it's
ever called outside of a block_autocmds context; the function seems to have been
refactored in #26739 anyway).

Problem: Page-wise scrolling with Ctrl-D/Ctrl-U implements
it's own logic to change the topline and cursor.
More logic than necessary for scrolling with Ctrl-F/Ctrl-B
was removed in patch 9.1.0211.
Solution: Re-use the logic from Ctrl-E/Ctrl-Y/Ctrl-F/Ctrl-B while
staying backward compatible as much as possible.
Restore some of the logic that determined how many lines will
be scrolled (Luuk van Baal)

Problem: Page-wise scrolling with Ctrl-F/Ctrl-B implements
it's own logic to change the topline and cursor.
In doing so, skipcol is not handled properly for
'smoothscroll', and virtual lines.
Solution: Re-use the logic from Ctrl-E/Ctrl-Y while staying
backward compatible as much as possible.

Problem: winframe functions incorrectly recompute window positions if
the altframe wasn't adjacent to the closed frame, which is
possible if adjacent windows had 'winfix{width,height}' set.
Solution: recompute for windows within the parent of the altframe and
closed frame. Skip this (as before) if the altframe was
top/left, but only if adjacent to the closed frame, as
positions won't change in that case. Also correct the return
value documentation for win_screenpos. (Sean Dewar)
The issue revealed itself after removing the win_comp_pos call below
winframe_restore in win_splitmove. Similarly, wrong positions could result from
windows closed in other tabpages, as win_free_mem uses winframe_remove (at least
until it is entered later, where enter_tabpage calls win_comp_pos).
NOTE: As win_comp_pos handles only curtab, it's possible via other means for
positions in non-current tabpages to be wrong (e.g: after changing 'laststatus',
'showtabline', etc.). Given enter_tabpage recomputes it, maybe it's intentional
as an optimization? Should probably be documented in win_screenpos then, but I
won't address that here.
closes: vim/vim#14191
Nvim: don't reuse "wp" for "topleft" in winframe_remove, so the change
integrates better with the call to winframe_find_altwin before it.

Problem: more places exist where curwin == prevwin, and it may even be
expected in some cases.
Solution: revert v9.1.0001, but document that it's possible instead.
(Sean Dewar)
I've had a change of heart for the following reasons:
- A quick 'n dirty [GitHub code search](https://github.com/search?q=%2F%28winnr%5C%28%5C%29%5Cs*%3D%3D%5Cs*winnr%5C%28%5B%27%22%5D%23%5B%27%22%5D%5C%29%7Cwinnr%5C%28%5B%27%22%5D%23%5B%27%22%5D%5C%29%5Cs*%3D%3D%5Cs*winnr%5C%28%5C%29%29%2F&type=code)
reveals some cases where it's expected in the wild.
Particularly, it made me aware `winnr() == winnr('#')` is possible when curwin
is changed temporarily during the evaluation of a &statusline expression item
(`%{...}`), and is used to show something different on the statusline
belonging to the previous window; that behaviour wasn't changed in v9.1.0001,
but it means curwin == prevwin makes sense in some cases.
- The definition and call sites of back_to_prevwin imply some expectation that
prevwin == wp (== curwin) is possible, as it's used to skip entering the
prevwin in that case.
- Prior to v9.1.0001, `:wincmd p` would not beep in the case that was patched in
v9.1.0001, but now does. That resulted in vim/vim#14047 being opened, as it affected
the CtrlP plugin.
I find it odd that `:wincmd p` had cases where it wouldn't beep despite doing
nothing, but it may be preferable to keep things that way (or instead also
beep if curwin == prevwin, if that's preferred).
- After more digging, I found cases in win_free_mem, enter_tabpage,
aucmd_restbuf and qf_open_new_cwindow where curwin == prevwin is possible
(many of them from autocommands). Others probably exist too, especially in
places where curwin is changed temporarily.

Problem: win_splitmove fires WinNewPre and possibly WinNew when moving
windows, even though no new windows are created.
Solution: don't fire WinNew and WinNewPre when inserting an existing
window, even if it isn't the current window. Improve the
accuracy of related documentation. (Sean Dewar)
96cc4aef3d
Partial as WinNewPre has not been ported yet (it currently has problems anyway).
Problem: nvim_open_win blocking all win_set_buf autocommands when !enter &&
!noautocmd is too aggressive.
Solution: temporarily block WinEnter/Leave and BufEnter/Leave events when
setting the buffer. Delegate the firing of BufWinEnter back to win_set_buf,
which also has the advantage of keeping the timing consistent (e.g: before the
epilogue in enter_buffer, which also handles restoring the cursor position if
autocommands didn't change it, among other things). Reword the documentation for
noautocmd a bit.
I pondered modifying do_buffer and callees to allow for BufEnter/Leave being
conditionally disabled, but it seems too invasive (and potentially error-prone,
especially if new code paths to BufEnter/Leave are added in the future).
Unfortunately, doing this has the drawback of blocking ALL such events for the
duration, which also means blocking unrelated such events; like if window
switching occurs in a ++nested autocmd fired by win_set_buf. If this turns out
to be a problem in practice, a different solution specialized for nvim_open_win
could be considered. :-)
Problem: currently, for splits, nvim_win_set_config accepts win without any of
split or vertical set, which has little effect and seems error-prone.
Solution: require at least one of split or vertical to also be set for splits.
Also, update nvim_win_set_config docs, as it's no longer limited to just
floating and external windows.
Problem: Duplicate assignment in f_getregion().
Solution: Remove the duplicate assignment. Also improve getregion()
docs wording and fix an unrelated typo (zeertzjq)
