Problem: With 'smoothscroll' the scroll position of a window is lost when
its height changes.
Solution: Only reset the skipped columns when 'smoothscroll' is off, where
they just serve to keep the cursor visible.

Problem: The window scrolls when an autocommand window is used while the
cursor is behind multi-byte characters.
Solution: Use the byte column instead of the character count when computing
how many screen lines the text up to the cursor takes.

Problem: The zip autoload script aborts loading when the "zip"
command is not available, so even read-only browsing of an
archive fails with E117 (zip#Browse undefined) on systems
that have "unzip" but not "zip" (e.g. the Windows CI
runner). Regressed in b0e0b22.
Solution: Drop the load-time executable gate and check each command
per operation instead, so a missing "zip" only affects
writing. Update the test to match the reworded message.

Problem:
xterm doesn't reset to user configured default with the sequence `\x1b[0 q`.
Solution:
Restore old behavior: if the reset cursor style terminfo entry is
absent, xterm's sequence should set the cursor to steady block, which is
the xterm default. In the near future, they may support another option
(`\x1b[7 q`) to reset to the user configured default.

Ignore diff blanklines via regex ("-I"), not "--ignore-blank-lines".
Almost useless.
I tried with/without "--word-diff=porcelain", "--word-diff-regex",
and diff algorithms like `--histogram`.
Problem: When the only window has 'winfixheight' set and 'laststatus'
is one, splitting it leaves one screen line unused. This
happens for example when jumping to an item from a maximized
quickfix window (rendcrx)
Solution: Do not subtract the height of the status line twice

Problem: checkSmall() compares the fold size of window "wp" against
the current window's 'foldminlines'. A fold of another
window, e.g. measured while it is redrawn, is judged by an
unrelated option value.
Solution: Use 'foldminlines' of the window containing the fold
(Igor Mikushkin).

Problem:
The bundled `zip` plugin is implemented in Vimscript, making it harder to
maintain and build on with Nvim's Lua runtime infrastructure.
Solution:
Add an opt-out `zip.lua` browser backed by `nvim.dir`, and disable the legacy
Vimscript implementation by moving it to `pack/dist/opt/zip/`. Load it with
`:packadd zip`.
Problem:
Cmdline area shows stale ":" after backspacing out of the command line.
Solution:
Clear the command line for empty commands. Note that `:<CR>` will now
clear the command line too.
Problem:
Latent bug from 7f6c14ed54 (2015).
If an option default is "false" (`o.defaults.if_false = false`, e.g.
'fileignorecase'), codegen does not give it a `.def_val` on the platform
where its `#if` condition is undefined; it is zero-initialized.
This wasn't noticed until the parent commit, where zero value is
kObjectTypeNil, which `set_option_varp()` rejects.
Solution:
Check `if_false == nil` insteada of "falsey", so the `#else` branch gets
generated.
Problem:
The object subsystem has an intermediate representation for no real
reason. Besides the code cost, this also adds an extra (api <=> OptVal)
conversion step, which is a (small) perf cost.
Solution:
We already have `Object`, so use it instead.
- drop `OptVal`, `OptValData`, `OptValType`, and related boilerplate.
- add `kObjectTypeUnset`.
Problem: An insecurely-set 'indentexpr', 'formatexpr', 'includeexpr'
or 'complete' value can end up evaluated outside the
sandbox after buf_copy_options() and clears the flag.
Solution: Copy the insecure flag alongside the value in
buf_copy_options(), and make 'complete' a per-buffer
insecure-flags field

Problem: Installing plugins during lockfile synchronization always
writes the lockfile, even though its content is used during install.
This might be a problem if the lockfile (itself or its parent
directory) is not writeable (can only be read).
Solution: Do not write the lockfile when installing directly from it.
This is okay since the `src` and `rev` are used directly from the
lockfile and don't change at this step. While potential change in
`version` (that must be written to the lockfile) is handled in other
code path.
Problem:
commit_chars_str() reads a 0x80-0xBF byte as a 2-byte lead, so
"\xA9x" makes "x" a commit character. nvim_get_hl() returns
a dict, so `#` on it is 0 whether or not the group exists
Solution:
use vim.str_utf_end() and drop entries that are not one whole
character. use next check dict length.
Problem:
Cursor-relative floats can use stale screen coordinates after a cursor move is restored without a redraw.
Solution:
Validate the current cursor before converting cursor-relative coordinates.

Problem:
Tree-sitter uses UINT32_MAX for full-document ranges, which becomes -1 on 32-bit platforms and reaches _foldupdate as an invalid end row.
Solution:
Treat negative changed-range end rows as unbounded and clamp them to the buffer line count. Add a regression test that simulates the 32-bit sentinel.

Problem:
Want `gQ` for _le multicursor_.
Solution:
- Don't use `gQ` for exmode.
- Introduce `:exmode`.
- Introduce `[count]q:` as an alias to `:exmode`.
Problem:
On NetBSD, `man -w open` can return the exact manpage path, but `:Man`
may still fail when man directories cannot be discovered from `manpath
-q`, bare `man -w`, or `$MANPATH`.
Solution:
Fall back to the direct manpage lookup when directory discovery fails.
Add a test for resolving `open(2)` through `goto_tag()` without manpath
data.
Problem: A preselected item is inserted even with "noinsert", and the
first added preselected item wins over the first one shown
in the menu.
Solution: Use K_DOWN when "noinsert" is set; pick the first preselected
item that made it into the menu.
Problem:
POSIX-compatible Ex-mode requires special-cases all over the codebase to
match various quirks that don't actually matter to users.
- The main utility of *interactive* Ex-mode is its REPL behavior, and
that can be achieved with `cmdwin`, which also gains extra UX
benefits.
- The main utility of *non-interactive* `nvim -es` is for shell
scripting, where Ex-mode quirks are mostly unhelpful (e.g. the
"Entering Ex mode" message).
Solution:
- Reimplement *interactive* Ex-mode as a "persistent, insert-mode
cmdwin" in Lua.
- "nvim -e/-E" is simply an alias to "gQ".
- Reframe *non-interactive* Ex-mode (`nvim -es`) as "script mode".
- Drop POSIX Ex-mode quirks.
Improvements:
- "nvim -V1 -es" output ends with a final newline!
- "nvim -V1 -es" no longer shows the "Entering Ex mode" msg. (This was
pointless noise, unwanted for scripting purposes.)
- stdin is no longer typeahead. Scripts (":lua io.read()") can read
stdin as data.
- Empty line is a no-op: a stray blank line no longer moves the cursor
(deviates from POSIX ex "+1"), no longer exits 1 at EOF (E501).
Preserved behavior:
- cursor starts at "$"
- mode()=="cv" (for non-interactive)
- multiline commands (:append/:function/heredoc pull continuation lines)
- bare-range print
- :print=>stdout
- -V1=>stderr
- CRLF input
- continue-after-error and exit codes
Dropped (regressed) POSIX behavior (non-interactive):
- Event loop only ticks while/between commands, not while blocked
waiting for a stdin line.
- ":g/pat/visual...Q"
- input()/getchar()/":s/x/y/c" no longer consume stdin lines as
answers: Nvim stops at end-of-input, skipping the rest of the script,
exit 0. Use ":lua io.read()" instead.
- If users care about this they should use interactive Ex-mode (`gQ`).
- ":@r" stops at end of the register instead of continuing to read
cmdline input from stdin.
