Problem: Enabling ext_messages claims to set 'cmdheight' to zero, but
only does so for the current tabpage.
Solution: Set stored 'cmdheight' value to zero for all tabpages.
Problem:
vim.iter has both `rfind()` and various `*back()` methods, which work
in "reverse" or "backwards" order. It's inconsistent to have both kinds
of names, and "back" is fairly uncommon (rust) compared to python
(rfind, rstrip, rsplit, …).
Solution:
- Remove `nthback()` and let `nth()` take a negative index.
- Because `rnth()` looks pretty obscure, and because it's intuitive
for a function named `nth()` to take negative indexes.
- Rename `xxback()` methods to `rxx()`.
- This informally groups the "list-iterator" functions under a common
`r` prefix, which helps discoverability.
- Rename `peekback()` to `pop()`, in duality with the existing `peek`.
Problem:
`vim.ui.open` unnecessarily invents a different success/failure
convention. Its return type was changed in 57adf8c6e0, so we might as
well change it to have a more conventional form.
Solution:
Change the signature to use the `pcall` convention of `status, result`.
vim.fs.root() is a function for finding a project root relative to a
buffer using one or more "root markers". This is useful for LSP and
could be useful for other "projects" designs, as well as for any plugins
which work with a "projects" concept.
Specifically, functions that are run in the context of the test runner
are put in module `test/testutil.lua` while the functions that are run
in the context of the test session are put in
`test/functional/testnvim.lua`.

Problem: `vim.deprecate()` can be relatively significantly slower than
the deprecated function in "Nvim" plugin.
Solution: Optimize checks for "Nvim" plugin. This also results into not
distinguishing "xxx-dev" and "xxx" versions when doing checks, which
is essentially covered by the deprecation logic itself.
With this rewrite I get the times from #28459: `{ 0.024827, 0.003797, 0.002024, 0.001774, 0.001703 }`.
For quicker reference:
- On current Nightly it is something like `{ 3.72243, 0.918169, 0.968143, 0.763256, 0.783424 }`.
- On 0.9.5: `{ 0.002955, 0.000361, 0.000281, 0.000251, 0.00019 }`.
Problem: Page scrolling does not always place the cursor at the top or
bottom of the window (Mathias Rav)
Solution: Place the cursor at the top or bottom of the window.

Problem:
Besides being redundant with vim.iter():flatten(), `tbl_flatten` has
these problems:
- Has `tbl_` prefix but only accepts lists.
- Discards some results! Compare the following:
- iter.flatten():
```
vim.iter({1, { { a = 2 } }, { 3 } }):flatten():totable()
```
- tbl_flatten:
```
vim.tbl_flatten({1, { { a = 2 } }, { 3 } })
```
Solution:
Deprecate tbl_flatten.
Note:
iter:flatten() currently fails ("flatten() requires a list-like table")
on this code from gen_lsp.lua:
local anonym = vim.iter({ -- remove nil
anonymous_num > 1 and '' or nil,
'---@class ' .. anonymous_classname,
}):flatten():totable()
Should we enhance :flatten() to work for arrays?
Problem: No test that completing a partial mapping clears 'showcmd'.
Solution: Complete partial mappings in Test_showcmd_part_map() instead
of using :echo. Adjust some comments (zeertzjq).

Problem:
We need to establish a pattern for `enable()`.
Solution:
- First `enable()` parameter is always `enable:boolean`.
- Update `vim.diagnostic.enable()`
- Update `vim.lsp.inlay_hint.enable()`.
- It was not released yet, so no deprecation is needed. But to help
HEAD users, it will show an informative error.
- vim.deprecate():
- Improve message when the "removal version" is a *current or older* version.
Problem: 'showcmd' is wrong for partial mapping with multibyte char,
and isn't very readable with modifyOtherKeys.
Solution: Decode multibyte char and merge modifiers into the char.
(zeertzjq)
This improves the following situations:
- Multibyte chars whose individual bytes are considered unprintable are
now shown properly in 'showcmd' area.
- Ctrl-W with modifyOtherKeys now shows ^W in 'showcmd' area.
The following situation may still need improvement:
- If the char is a special key or has modifiers that cannot be merged
into it, internal keycodes are shown in 'showcmd' area like before.
This applies to keys typed in Normal mode commands as well, and it's
hard to decide how to make it more readable due to the limited space
taken by 'showcmd', so I'll leave it for later.

Problem: Renaming non-current buffer changes working directory when
'autochdir' is set.
Solution: Temporarily disable 'autochdir'. Add more tests for the
win_set_buf change.
- Test maparg() and maplist() in the same test.
- Use matches() instead of string.match().
- Avoid overlong lines and strange spacing in exec_lua().
- Revert code change from last PR as the variable may be needed.
Problem:
vim.diagnostic.enable() does not match the signature of vim.lsp.inlay_hint.enable()
Solution:
- Change the signature so that the first 2 args are (bufnr, enable).
- Introduce a 3rd `opts` arg.
- Currently it only supports `opts.ns_id`.
Problem:
`vim.diagnostic.is_disabled` and `vim.diagnostic.disable` are unnecessary
and inconsistent with the "toggle" pattern (established starting with
`vim.lsp.inlay_hint`, see https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/25512#pullrequestreview-1676750276
As a reminder, the rationale is:
- we always need `enable()`
- we always end up needing `is_enabled()`
- "toggle" can be achieved via `enable(not is_enabled())`
- therefore,
- `toggle()` and `disable()` are redundant
- `is_disabled()` is a needless inconsistency
Solution:
- Introduce `vim.diagnostic.is_enabled`, and `vim.diagnostic.enable(…, enable:boolean)`
- Note: Future improvement would be to add an `enable()` overload `enable(enable:boolean, opts: table)`.
- Deprecate `vim.diagnostic.is_disabled`, `vim.diagnostic.disable`
Problem:
vim.ui.open "locks up" Nvim if the spawned process does not terminate. #27986
Solution:
- Change `vim.ui.open()`:
- Do not call `wait()`.
- Return a `SystemObj`. The caller can decide if it wants to `wait()`.
- Change `gx` to `wait()` only a short time.
- Allows `gx` to show a message if the command fails, without the
risk of waiting forever.
