Problem: filter() and map() either require a string or defining a function.
Solution: Support lambda, a short way to define a function that evaluates an
expression. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto, Ken Takata)

Problem: Cannot detect a crash in tests when caused by garbagecollect().
Solution: Add garbagecollect_for_testing(). Do not free a job if is still
useful.

This allows executables to be found by :!, system(), and executable() if
they live next to ("sibling" to) nvim.exe. This is what gvim on Windows
does, and also matches the behavior of Win32 SearchPath().

Problem: getwininfo() and getbufinfo() are inefficient.
Solution: Do not make a copy of all window/buffer-local options. Make it
possible to get them with gettabwinvar() or getbufvar().

Problem: The field names used by getbufinfo(), gettabinfo() and
getwininfo() are not consistent.
Solution: Use bufnr, winnr and tabnr. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)

Problem: It's not easy to find out if a window is a quickfix or location
list window.
Solution: Add "loclist" and "quickfix" entries to the dict returnec by
getwininfo(). (Yegappan Lakshmanan)

Problem: It is not easy to get information about buffers, windows and
tabpages.
Solution: Add getbufinfo(), getwininfo() and gettabinfo(). (Yegappan
Lakshmanan)

Problem: When using a partial on a dictionary it always gets bound to that
dictionary.
Solution: Make a difference between binding a function to a dictionary
explicitly or automatically.

Contains the exit value nvim will use.
Before exiting, it is v:null. That way jobs or autocmds (in VimLeavePre or
VimLeave) can check if Neovim is about to quit and with what exit value.
Closes#4666.
In order to not conflict with new error codes that Vim adds, all Neovim
error codes should be above 5000. The three existing sub-5000 error
codes (E926, E951, and E952) are now E50003, E5004, and E5005
respectively.
E953 was removed in 6167ce6df2, so just
remove it from the help.

In Vim,
:echo system('cat - &', 'foo')
works because for both system() and :! Vim writes input to a temp file and uses
shell syntax to redirect the file to the backgrounded `cat` (get_cmd_output()
.. make_filter_cmd()).
In Nvim,
:echo system('cat - &', 'foo')
fails because we write the input directly via pipes (shell.c:do_os_system()),
but (per POSIX[1]) backgrounded process input stream is redirected from
/dev/null (unless overridden by shell redirection; supported only by some shells
[2]), so our writes are ignored, the process exits quickly, and if we are
writing data larger than the buffer size we'll see EPIPE.
This still works:
:%w !tee > foo1358.txt &
but this does not:
:%w !tee foo1358.txt &
though it *should* (why doesn't it?) because we still do the temp file dance
in do_bang() .. do_filter().

Problem: Cannot use a window ID where a window number is expected.
Solution: Add LOWEST_WIN_ID, so that the window ID can be used where a
number is expected.

`deprecated.txt` is a place for deprecated tags to live.
- Encourages aggressive documentation of deprecations without cluttering
the main help files.
- Provides a single browsable reference of all deprecations.
Other changes:
- Move tags to doc/vim_diff.txt.
- Remove doc/quotes.txt. It has little historical value, except maybe the
Larry Wall quote.

Problem: It is not easy to get a list of command arguments.
Solution: Add getcompletion(). (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
