Problem: 'cedit', 'termwinkey' and 'wildchar' may not be parsed
correctly
Solution: improve string_to_key() function in option.c
(Milly)
- Problem: `^@` raises an error.
Solution: Store as `<Nul>`.
- Problem: `<t_xx` does not raise an error.
Solution: Raise an error if closing `>` is missing.
- Problem: Single `<` or `^` raises an error. It is inconvenient for users.
Solution: They are stored as a single character.

Problem: `runtime/tools/emoji_list.vim` is a Lua script masquerading as
Vimscript, which is unnecessary now that `:source` works for Lua files.
Solution: Remove Vimscript wrapper.
An implication of this current approach is that `NVIM_API_LEVEL` should be
bumped when a new Lua function is added.
TODO(future): add a lint check which requires `@since` on all new functions.
ref #25416
Some composite/compound types even as basic as `(string|number)[]` are
not currently supported by the luacats LPEG grammar used by gen_vimdoc.
It would be parsed & rendered as just `string|number`.
Changeset adds better support for these types.
Problem: fixed order of items in insert-mode completion menu
Solution: Introduce the 'completeitemalign' option with default
value "abbr,kind,menu" (glepnir).
Adding an new option `completeitemalign` abbr is `cia` to custom
the complete-item order in popupmenu.

Problem:
Linematch used to use strchr to navigate a string, however strchr does
not supoprt embedded NULs.
Solution:
Use `mmfile_t` instead of `char *` in linematch and introduce `strnchr()`.
Also remove heap allocations from `matching_char_iwhite()`

Before this PR, the behavior of nvim_paste is:
- When vim.paste() returns false, return false to the client, but treat
following chunks normally (i.e. rely on the client cancelling the
paste as expected).
- When vim.paste() throws an error, still return true to the client, but
drain the following chunks in the stream without calling vim.paste().
There are two problems with such behavior:
- When vim.paste() errors, the client is still supposed to send the
remaining chunks of the stream, even though they do nothing.
- Having different code paths for two uncommon but similar situations
complicates maintenance.
This PR makes both the cancel case and the error case return false to
the client and drain the remaining chunks of the stream, which, apart
from sharing the same code path, is beneficial whether the client checks
the return value of nvim_paste or not:
- If the client checks the return value, it can avoid sending the
following chunks needlessly after an error.
- If the client doesn't check the return value, chunks following a
cancelled chunk won't be pasted on the server regardless, which leads
to less confusing behavior.
In the api_info() output:
:new|put =map(filter(api_info().functions, '!has_key(v:val,''deprecated_since'')'), 'v:val')
...
{'return_type': 'ArrayOf(Integer, 2)', 'name': 'nvim_win_get_position', 'method': v:true, 'parameters': [['Window', 'window']], 'since': 1}
The `ArrayOf(Integer, 2)` return type didn't break clients when we added
it, which is evidence that clients don't use the `return_type` field,
thus renaming Dictionary => Dict in api_info() is not (in practice)
a breaking change.
Problem: Wrong breakindentopt=list:-1 with multibyte chars or TABs in

Use the grapheme break algorithm from utf8proc to support grapheme
clusters from recent unicode versions.
Handle variant selector VS16 turning some codepoints into double-width
emoji. This means we need to use ptr2cells rather than char2cells when
possible.
Problem: Contents of terminal buffer are not reflown when Nvim is
resized.
Solution: Enable reflow in libvterm by default. Now that libvterm is
vendored, also fix "TUI rapid resize" test failures there.
Note: Neovim's scrollback buffer does not support reflow (yet), so lines
vanishing into the buffer due to a too small window will be restored
without reflow.
According to :h win32-PATH, "the same directory as Vim" means the same
directory as the Vim executable, not Vim's current directory. In patch
8.2.4860 these two concepts were mixed up.

no priority is explicitly specified in sign_place or :sign place.

Problem: signed number detection for CTRL-X/A can be improved

in front of the sign.

This is a breaking change which will make refactor of typval and shada
code a lot easier. In particular, code that would use or check for
v:msgpack_types.binary in the wild would be broken. This appears to be
rarely used in existing plugins.
Also some cases where v:msgpack_type.string would be used to represent a
binary string of "string" type, we use a BLOB instead, which is
vimscripts native type for binary blobs, and already was used for BIN
formats when necessary.
msgpackdump(msgpackparse(data)) no longer preserves the distinction
of BIN and STR strings. This is very common behavior for
language-specific msgpack bindings. Nvim uses msgpack as a tool to
serialize its data. Nvim is not a tool to bit-perfectly manipulate
arbitrary msgpack data out in the wild.
The changed tests should indicate how behavior changes in various edge
cases.
Problem: A custom 'statuscolumn' needs to check a bunch of options and
placed signs to replicate the default number column.
Solution: Rework %l item to include the necessary logic to mimic the
default number column. Remove now redundant %r item.

Problem: the previous documentation falsely states that "v" always
refers to the start of a visual area. In fact, the reference of "v" and
"." complement each other. If the cursor is at the start of
a (characterwise) visual area, then "v" refers to the end of the area.
Solution: be more verbose and explicit about the connection between "."
and "v" and also refer to |v_o| which many vim users will be familiar
with for visual areas.

Problem: there is missing default title highlight when highlight not defined in title text chunk.
Solution: when attr is not set use default title highlight group.
Problem: Can't use a blockwise selection with a width for getregion().

value of getregtype() or the "regtype" value of TextYankPost

Problem: `CompleteDone` currently does not specify the reason for why completion was done, which is problematic for completion plugins as they cannot know whether the event was triggered due to the completion being canceled, accepted, or for some other reason.
Solution: Add a `reason` key to `v:event`, which is set by `CompleteDone` to indicate why completion ended.
Problem: getregionpos() can't properly indicate positions beyond eol.
Solution: Add an "eol" flag that enables handling positions beyond end
of line like getpos() does (zeertzjq).
Also fix the problem that a position still has the coladd beyond the end
of the line when its column has been clamped. In the last test case
with TABs at the end of the line the old behavior is obviously wrong.
I decided to gate this behind a flag because returning positions that
don't correspond to actual characters in the line may lead to mistakes
for callers that want to calculate the length of the selected text, so
the behavior is only enabled if the caller wants it.

Problem:
The nvim_win_xx_ns function family introduced in ba0370b1d7
needs more bake-time. Currently it's narrowly defined for windows, but
other scopes ("buffer") and features are likely in the future.
Solution:
- Rename the API with double-underscore to mark it as EXPERIMENTAL.
TODO/FUTURE:
- Rename and change the signature to support more than just "window"
scope, and for other flexibility.
- Open question: we could choose either:
- "store scopes on namespaces", or
- "store namespaces on scopes (w:/b:/…)"
Experimental and subject to future changes.
Add a way to redraw certain elements that are not redrawn while Nvim is waiting
for input, or currently have no API to do so. This API covers all that can be
done with the :redraw* commands, in addition to the following new features:
- Immediately move the cursor to a (non-current) window.
- Target a specific window or buffer to mark for redraw.
- Mark a buffer range for redraw (replaces nvim__buf_redraw_range()).
- Redraw the 'statuscolumn'.
This reverts commit 15e77a56b7.
Subpriorities were added in https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/27131
as a mechanism for enforcing query order when using iter_matches in the
Tree-sitter highlighter. However, iter_matches proved to have too many
complications to use in the highlighter so we eventually reverted back
to using iter_captures (https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/27901).
Thus, subpriorities are no longer needed and can be removed.
Based on feedback from #28324, pass -H and -I to regular grep
(available on all platforms officially supported by Neovim), and
only pass -uu to ripgrep. This makes :grep ignore binary files by
default in both cases.
