Although powerful -- especially with chained modifiers --, the readability (and therefore maintainability) of `fnamemodify()` and its modifiers is often worse than a function name, giving less context and having to rely on `:h filename-modifiers`. However, it is used plenty in the Lua stdlib: - 16x for the basename: `fnamemodify(path, ':t')` - 7x for the parents: `fnamemodify(path, ':h')` - 7x for the stem (filename w/o extension): `fnamemodify(path, ':r')` - 6x for the absolute path: `fnamemodify(path, ':p')` - 2x for the suffix: `fnamemodify(path, ':e')` - 2x relative to the home directory: `fnamemodify(path, ':~')` - 1x relative to the cwd: `fnamemodify(path, ':.')` The `fs` module in the stdlib provides a cleaner interface for most of these path operations: `vim.fs.basename` instead of `':t'`, `vim.fs.dirname` instead of `':h'`, `vim.fs.abspath` instead of `':p'`. This commit refactors the runtime to use these instead of fnamemodify. Not all fnamemodify calls are removed; some have intrinsic differences in behavior with the `vim.fs` replacement or do not yet have a replacement in the Lua module, i.e. `:~`, `:.`, `:e` and `:r`.
