Asynchronous API functions are served immediately, which means pending
input could change the state of Nvim shortly after an async API function
result is returned.
nvim_get_mode() is different:
- If RPCs are known to be blocked, it responds immediately (without
flushing the input/event queue)
- else it is handled just-in-time before waiting for input, after
pending input was processed. This makes the result more reliable
(but not perfect).
Internally this is handled as a special case, but _semantically_ nothing
has changed: API users never know when input flushes, so this internal
special-case doesn't violate that. As far as API users are concerned,
nvim_get_mode() is just another asynchronous API function.
In all cases nvim_get_mode() never blocks for more than the time it
takes to flush the input/event queue (~µs).
Note: This doesn't address #6166; nvim_get_mode() will provoke #6166 if
e.g. `d` is operator-pending.

ex_loadview() was changed in 9b1c939370 to check the file open result.
If user doesn't care about failure to open, using :silent! instead of
:silent is a reasonable, conventional approach.

Calling cmd.exe in Windows follows a very different pattern from Vim.
The primary difference is that Vim does a nested call to cmd.exe, e.g.
the following call in Vim
system('echo a 2>&1')
spawns the following processes
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\vim80\vimrun" -s C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c (echo a 2^>^&1
^>C:\Users\dummy\AppData\Local\Temp\VIoC169.tmp 2^>^&1)
C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c (echo a 2^>^&1
^>C:\Users\dummy\AppData\Local\Temp\VIo3C6C.tmp 2^>^&1)
C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c (echo a 2>&1
>C:\Users\dummy\AppData\Local\Temp\VIo3C6C.tmp 2>&1)
The escaping with ^ is needed because cmd.exe calls itself and needs to
preserve the special metacharacters for the last call. However in nvim
no nested call is made, system('') spawns a single cmd.exe process.
Setting shellxescape to "" disables escaping with ^.
The previous default for shellxquote=( wrapped any command in
parenthesis, in Vim this is more meaningful due to the use of tempfiles
to store the output and redirection (also see &shellquote). There is
a slight benefit in having the default be empty because some expressions
that run in console will not run within parens e.g. due to unbalanced
double quotes
system('echo "a b')
Disable CommandLineToArgvW-standard quoting for cmd.exe.
libuv assumes spawned processes follow the convention expected by
CommandLineToArgvW(). But cmd.exe is non-conformant, so for cmd.exe:
- With system([]), the caller has full control (and responsibility) to
quote arguments correctly.
- With system(''), shell* options are used.
libuv quoting is disabled if argv[0] is:
- cmd.exe
- cmd
- $COMSPEC resolving to a path with filename cmd.exe

References #6387
Adds os_strerror() result to a number of places. Also since I could not track
where err\* variables are NULL and where they are not, using macros to make sure
that all three variables are set at once.
Removes #ifdef UNIX around the use of os_fsync, makes it use os_close in place
of close in some places.
For now only supports valid hex colors (does not check for the validity
the hex color) when termguicolors is set, otherwise it won't attempt to
change the cursor color.
Make the 'scrollback' option work like most other buffer-local options:
- `:set scrollback=x` sets the global and local value
- `:setglobal scrollback=x` sets only the global default
- new terminal buffers inherit the global
Normal buffers are still always -1, and :setlocal there is an error.
Closes#6337
Problem: It is not possible to use plugins in an "after" directory to tune
the behavior of a package.
Solution: First load plugins from non-after directories, then packages and
finally plugins in after directories.
Reset 'loadplugins' before executing --cmd arguments.

Problem: There is no easy way to stop all timers. There is no way to
temporary pause a timer.
Solution: Add timer_stopall() and timer_pause().
