Problem: The following strchar functions have incorrect types:
strcharlen() - Currently any. Always returns an integer, including on
error
strcharpart() - The skipcc annotation does not specify that 0 and 1 are
valid. These inputs are required for vimscript usage. The current
return type is any, even though the function returns an empty string
on error
strchars() - The skipcc annotation does not specify that 0 and 1 are
valid
Solution: Update the problem types.
Problem: In eval.lua, setcharsearch() has an incorrect param type,
causing Lua_Ls to display an error when a valid table is passed.
While getcharsearch correctly states that it returns a table, the type
is non-specific about the contents.
Solution: Update eval.lua with the correct types.
Problem:
Temporary files from /tmp/ and /private/ paths clutter :oldfiles list.
Additionally, the documented Windows default (rA:,rB:) was never applied
due to a missing platform condition.
Solution:
Drop platform-specific shada differences and default to excluding
/tmp/ and /private/ paths.
Problem:
Using vim.defer_fn() just before Nvim exit leaks luv handles.
Solution:
Make vim.schedule() return an error message if scheduling failed.
Make vim.defer_fn() close timer if vim.schedule() failed.
Problem: Fast context for msg_show event inhibits vim.ui_attach from
displaying a stream of messages from a single command.
Solution: Remove fast context from msg_show events emitted as a result
of explicit API/command calls. The fast context was originally
introduced to prevent issues with internal messages.
Problem: No event is triggered before creating a window.

Solution: Add the WinNewPre event (Sergey Vlasov)

Not sure if this should be triggered before creating a floating window,
as its use case is related to window layout.

Problem:
After bc0635a9fc `vim.wait()` rejects floats
and NaN values.
Solution:
Restore the prior behavior, while still supporting `math.huge`. Update
tests to cover float case.
Problem:
Current options for powershell and pwsh had mistakes and rationale
behind them was not clear.
Solution:
Update the suggested options by splitting up powershell and pwsh, as
well as ensuring that all options work and rationale is documented and
discussed.
Problem: diff: missing diff size limit for xdiff
Solution: Impose file size limit for internal diff (xdiff)
(Yee Cheng Chin).
Git imposes a hard cap on file size for content that it passes to xdiff
(added to Git in dcd1742e56e, defined in xdiff-interface.h), due to
integer overflow concerns in xdiff. Vim doesn't specify such a limit
right now, which means it's possible for a user to diff a large file
(1GB+) and trigger these overflow issues.
Add the same size limit (1GB minus 1MB) to Vim and simply throws an
error when Vim encounters files larger than said limit. For now, reuse
the same error message regarding internal diff failures. There is no
need to add the same limit for external diff as it's up to each tool to
error check their input to decide what is appropriate or not.

Problem: Windows: Vim always adds the current directory to search path.
This should only happen when using cmd.exe as 'shell'. For
example, powershell won't run binaries from the current
directory.
Solution: Only add current directory to system path, when using cmd.exe
as 'shell'.

Problem: completion: complete_match() Vim script function and
'isexpand' option are not that useful and confusing
(after v9.1.1341)
Solution: Remove function and option and clean up code and documentation
(Girish Palya).
complete_match() and 'isexpand' add no real functionality to Vim. They
duplicate what `strridx()` already does, yet pretend to be part of the
completion system. They have nothing to do with the completion mechanism.
* `f_complete_match()` in `insexpand.c` does not call any completion code.
It’s just a `STRNCMP()` wrapper with fluff logic.
* `'isexpand'` exists only as a proxy argument to that function.
It does nothing on its own and amounts to misuse of a new option.
The following Vim script function can be used to implement the same
functionality:
```vim
func CompleteMatch(triggers, sep=',')
let line = getline('.')->strpart(0, col('.') - 1)
let result = []
for trig in split(a:triggers, a:sep)
let idx = strridx(line, trig)
if l:idx >= 0
call add(result, [idx + 1, trig])
endif
endfor
return result
endfunc
```

Problem: completion: 'completefuzzycollect' option is too obscure
Solution: Deprecate the option, but don't error out for existing scripts,
behave like 'completefuzzycollect' is set when fuzzy
completion is enabled (Girish Palya).

Add "Environment variables are expanded |:set_env|" documentation to
options that have the P_EXPAND flag but were missing this note.
Updated options:
- 'cdpath'
- 'dictionary'
- 'mkspellmem'
- 'packpath'
- 'runtimepath'
- 'spellfile'
- 'spellsuggest'
- 'thesaurus'
- 'ttytype'
- 'undodir'
- 'verbosefile'
- 'viewdir'
- 'viminfofile'
These options support environment variable expansion in their values
(e.g., $HOME, $USER) but the documentation didn't explicitly mention
this capability. This brings their documentation in line with other
options like backupdir, directory, and makeprg that already include
this note.

Problem: Cannot reuse same config with noautocmd for both window
creation and updates, even when value is unchanged.
Solution: Only reject noautocmd changes for existing windows.
Problem:
- Exposing the raw config as table is a pattern not seen anywhere else
in the Nvim codebase.
- Old spellfile.vim docs still available, no new documentation
Solution:
- Exposing a `config()` function that both acts as "getter" and "setter"
is a much more common idiom (e.g. vim.lsp, vim.diagnostic).
- Add new documentation and link old docs to |spellfile.lua| instead of
|spellfile.vim|.
Problem: A plugin does not know when startup scripts were already
triggered. This is useful to determine if a function is
called inside vimrc or after (like when sourcing 'plugin/'
files).
Solution: Add the v:vim_did_init variable (Evgeni Chasnovski)
closes: vim/vim#18668294bce21ee
Nvim has two more steps between sourcing startup scripts and loading
plugins. Set this variable after these two steps.
