Problem:
Bundled color schemes use `:hi clear` and only define Vim's highlight
groups. This results into Nvim-specific highlight groups using
definitions from Nvim's default color scheme, which are not always
linked to a Vim's highlight group.
Solution:
Restore links to Vim's highlight groups which were present before Nvim's
default color scheme update.
Problem: Bundled 'vim' color scheme is written in Vimscript which
implicitly assumes that the file is ported from Vim.
This is not the case, at it is currently the Neovim's way of providing
backward compatibility for color schemes.
Solution: Rewrite it in Lua to indicate that this runtime file comes
from Neovim.
runtime(colorschemes): Update colorschemes (vim/vim#13691)
Minor changes:
- Regenerated using colortemplate 2.2.3
- Removed reversed gui-cursor for some of the colorschemes (retrobox, wildcharm, lunaperche)
- Change MatchParen for some of colorschemes.

Problem: Updating default color scheme produced some feedback.
Solution: Address the feedback.
Outline of the changes:
- Colors `Grey1` and `Grey2` are made a little bit more extreme (dark -
darker, light - lighter) to increase overall contrast.
- `gui` colors are treated as base with `cterm` colors falling back to
using 0-15 colors which come from terminal emulator.
- Update highlight group definition to not include attribute definition
if it is intended to staty uncolored.
- Tweak some specific highlight groups.
- Add a list of Neovim specific highlight groups which are now defined
differently in a breaking way.
- Minor tweaks in several other places related to default color scheme.
Problem: Default color scheme is suboptimal.
Solution: Start using new color scheme. Introduce new `vim` color scheme
for opt-in backward compatibility.
------
Main design ideas
- Be "Neovim branded".
- Be minimal for 256 colors with a bit more shades for true colors.
- Be accessible through high enough contrast ratios.
- Be suitable for dark and light backgrounds via exchange of dark and
light palettes.
------
Palettes
- Have dark and light variants. Implemented through exporeted
`NvimDark*` and `NvimLight*` hex colors.
- Palettes have 4 shades of grey for UI elements and 6 colors (red,
yellow, green, cyan, blue, magenta).
- Actual values are computed procedurally in Oklch color space based on
a handful of hyperparameters.
- Each color has a 256 colors variant with perceptually closest color.
------
Highlight groups
Use:
- Grey shades for general UI according to their design.
- Bold text for keywords (`Statement` highlight group). This is an
important choice to increase accessibility for people with color
deficiencies, as it doesn't rely on actual color.
- Green for strings, `DiffAdd` (as background), `DiagnosticOk`, and some
minor text UI elements.
- Cyan as main syntax color, i.e. for function usage (`Function`
highlight group), `DiffText`, `DiagnosticInfo`, and some minor text UI
elements.
- Red to generally mean high user attention, i.e. errors; in particular
for `ErrorMsg`, `DiffDelete`, `DiagnosticError`.
- Yellow very sparingly only with true colors to mean mild user
attention, i.e. warnings. That is, `DiagnosticWarn` and `WarningMsg`.
- Blue very sparingly only with true colors as `DiagnosticHint` and some
additional important syntax group (like `Identifier`).
- Magenta very carefully (if at all).
------
Notes
- To make tests work without relatively larege updates, each one is
prepended with an equivalent of the call `:colorscheme vim`.
Plus some tests which spawn new Neovim instances also now use 'vim'
color scheme.
In some cases tests are updated to fit new default color scheme.
Farewell to Bram and dedicate upcoming Vim 9.1 to him (vim/vim#12749)
e978b4534a
Also update the header for the following files that were converted to Vim9
script upstream:
- autoload/ccomplete.lua (vim9jitted)
- ftplugin.vim
- ftplugof.vim
- indent.vim
- indent/vim.vim
- makemenu.vim
This also updates the "Last Change" dates, even if some changes (due to rewrites
to Vim9 script) were not ported.
There's still a few other places where Bram is still mentioned as a maintainer
in the files we and Vim have:
- ftplugin/bash.vim
- indent/bash.vim
- indent/html.vim
- indent/mail.vim
- macros/accents.vim
- macros/editexisting.vim
- syntax/bash.vim
- syntax/shared/typescriptcommon.vim
- syntax/tar.vim
- syntax/typescript.vim
- syntax/typescriptreact.vim
- syntax/zimbu.vim
Maybe future patches will address that.
Also exclude changes to .po files that didn't apply automatically (the
`:messages` maintainer string isn't used in Nvim anyway).

Problem: It is not easy to see if a colorscheme is well written.
Solution: Add a script that checks for common mistakes. (Christian Brabandt)
