fix(api): use local LastSet structure in nvim_get_option_info
* nvim_get_option_info is deprecated.
It is always using the global LastSet information as reported in #15232.
* nvim_get_option_info2 is added.
The new function additionally accepts an 'opts' table {scope, buf, win}
allowing to specify the option scope and query local options from another
buffer or window.
Problem: no way of getting all highlight group definitions in a namespace.
Solution: add `nvim_get_hl()`, deprecate `nvim_get_hl_by_name()` and `nvim_get_hl_by_id()`.
Problem:
- vim.split has more features than vim.gsplit.
- Cannot inspect the "separator" segments of vim.split or vim.gsplit.
Solution:
- Move common implementation from vim.split into vim.gsplit.
- TODO: deprecate vim.split in favor of vim.totable(vim.gsplit())?
- Introduce `keepsep` parameter.

existing behavior of
:=
and
:[range]=
are unchanged. `|` is still allowed with this usage.
However,
:=p
and similar are changed in a way which could be construed as a breaking
change. Allowing |ex-flags| for := in the first place was a mistake as
any form of := DOES NOT MOVE THE CURSOR. So it would print one line number
and then print a completely different line contents after that.
Problem:
"tmux 3.2a" (output from "tmux -V") is not parsed easily.
Solution:
With `strict=false`, discard everything before the first digit.
- rename Semver => Version
- rename vim.version.version() => vim.version._version()
- rename matches() => has()
- remove `opts` from cmp()
Problem:
On Windows, :make does not display the output of the program it runs.
The cause is the default 'shellpipe'. On Linux, nvim uses `tee` to redirect the
output to both stdout and the error file. In Windows, for both cmd.exe and
powershell, the output is only redirected to the error file.
Solution:
- On Windows, change the 'shellpipe' default to "2>&1| tee".
- Nvim includes `tee` in its Windows package.
- Document recommended defaults for powershell.
Fixes#12910
Problem:
vim.treesitter.inspect_tree() and :InspectTree does not respect 'splitright'.
Solution:
- Change the default `command` from `topleft 60vnew` to `60vnew`.
- Change :InspectTree to respect command mods (`:vertical`, count, etc.).
Closes#22656
Problem:
vim.deprecate() shows ":help deprecated" for third-party plugins. ":help
deprecated" only describes deprecations in Nvim, and is unrelated to any
3rd party deprecations.
Solution:
If `plugin` is specified, don't show ":help deprecated".
fix#22235
we cannot remove 'paste'. It is very common in plugins and configs.
'pastetoggle' can and should be removed though, it's a total waste of everyone's time because it generates bug reports and doesn't work well, and is useless because bracketed-paste works better.
Problem:
The function name `vim.pretty_print`:
1. is verbose, which partially defeats its purpose as sugar
2. does not draw from existing precedent or any sort of convention
(except external projects like penlight or python?), which reduces
discoverability, and degrades signaling about best practices.
Solution:
- Rename to `vim.print`.
- Change the behavior so that
1. strings are printed without quotes
2. each arg is printed on its own line
3. tables are indented with 2 instead of 4 spaces
- Example:
:lua ='a', 'b', 42, {a=3}
a
b
42
{
a = 3
}
Comparison of alternatives:
- `vim.print`:
- pro: consistent with Lua's `print()`
- pro: aligns with potential `nvim_print` API function which will
replace nvim_echo, nvim_notify, etc.
- con: behaves differently than Lua's `print()`, slightly misleading?
- `vim.echo`:
- pro: `:echo` has similar "pretty print" behavior.
- con: inconsistent with Lua idioms.
- `vim.p`:
- pro: very short, fits with `vim.o`, etc.
- con: not as discoverable as "echo"
- con: less opportunity for `local p = vim.p` because of potential shadowing.
scroll_delta contains how much the top line of a window moved since the
last time win_viewport was emitted. It is expected to be used to
implement smooth scrolling. For this purpose it only counts "virtual" or
"displayed" so folds should count as one line. Because of this it
adds extra information that cannot be computed from the topline
parameter.

Never return the changes an only notify them using the `on_changedtree`
callback.
It is not guaranteed for a plugin that it'll be the first one to call
`tree:parse()` and thus get the changes.
Closes#19915
* Also fix newly found type mismatch.
* Note that it generates new warnings about using @private client
methods. A proper fix would be to revamp the lsp client documentation
altogether.
Problem:
Some built-in ftplugins set omnifunc/tagfunc/formatexpr which causes
lsp.lua:set_defaults() to skip setup of defaults for those filetypes.
For example the C++ ftplugin has:
omnifunc=ccomplete#Complete
Last set from /usr/share/nvim/runtime/ftplugin/c.vim line 30
so the changes done in #95c65a6b221fe6e1cf91e8322e7d7571dc511a71
will always be skipped for C++ files.
Solution:
Overwrite omnifunc/tagfunc/formatexpr options that were set by stock
ftplugin.
Fixes#21001
Problem:
If vim_tempdir mysteriously goes missing (typically by "antivirus" on
Windows), any plugins using tempname() will be broken for the rest of
the session. #1432#9833https://groups.google.com/g/vim_use/c/ef55jNm5czI
Steps:
mkdir foo
TMPDIR=./foo nvim
:echo tempname()
!rm -r foo
:echo tempname()
tempname() still uses the foo path even though it was deleted.
Solution:
- Don't assume that vim_tempdir exists.
- If it goes missing once, retry vim_mktempdir and log (silently) an error.
- If it goes missing again, retry vim_mktempdir and show an error.
Rejected in Vim for performance reasons:

But, logging shows that `vim_gettempdir` is not called frequently.

When a buffer update callback is called, textlock is active so buffer
text cannot be changed, but cursor can still be moved. This can cause
problems when the buffer update is in the middle of an operator, like
the one mentioned in #16729. The solution is to save cursor position and
restore it afterwards, like how cursor is saved and restored when
evaluating an <expr> mapping.
