- Remove the usage of the term "defer" to avoid confusion with
`vim.defer_fn`, which also calls `vim.schedule_wrap` internally.
- Explicitly state that `vim.schedule_wrap` returns a function in the
text.
- Mention that arguments are passed along.
- Include a usage example.
- Rename param to `fn`.
The on_detect functions returned by filetype.lua set buffer local
variables which are often used by filetype plugins. For example, the
on_detect function for shell buffers sets variables such as b:is_bash or
b:is_sh, which are used by the sh ftplugin.
When called after setting the buffer's filetype, these variables cannot
be used by the ftplugin (because they are not yet defined). Instead,
call on_detect before setting the buffer filetype so that any buffer
variables set by on_detect can be used in the ftplugin.
If an iterator pipeline stage returns nil as its first return value, the
other return values are ignored and it is treated as if that stage
returned only nil (the semantics of returning nil are different between
different stages). This is consistent with how for loops work in Lua
more generally, where the for loop breaks when the first return value
from the function iterator is nil (see :h for-in for details).
Problem: luals returns stricter diagnostics with bundled luarc.json
Solution: Improve some function and type annotations:
* use recognized uv.* types
* disable diagnostic for global `vim` in shared.lua
* docs: don't start comment lines with taglink (otherwise LuaLS will interpret it as a type)
* add type alias for lpeg pattern
* fix return annotation for `vim.secure.trust`
* rename local Range object in vim.version (shadows `Range` in vim.treesitter)
* fix some "missing fields" warnings
* add missing required fields for test functions in eval.lua
* rename lsp meta files for consistency
Problem: cache paths are derived by replacing each reserved/filesystem-
path-sensitive char with a `%` char in the original path. With this
method, two different files at two different paths (each containing `%`
chars) can erroneously resolve to the very same cache path in certain
edge-cases.
Solution: derive cache paths by url-encoding the original (path) instead
using `vim.uri_encode()` with `"rfc2396"`. Increment `Loader.VERSION` to
denote this change.
- eval.lua is now the source of truth.
- Formatting is much more consistent.
- Fixed Lua type generation for polymorphic functions (get(), etc).
- Removed "Overview" section from builtin.txt
- Can generate this if we really want it.
- Moved functions from sign.txt and testing.txt into builtin.txt.
- Removed the *timer* *timers* tags since libuv timers via vim.uv should be preferred.
- Removed the temp-file-name tag from tempname()
- Moved lueval() from lua.txt to builtin.txt.
* Fix indent
* fixup!
* fixup! fixup!
* fixup! better tag formatting
* fixup: revert changes no longer needed
* fixup! CI

Problem:
Lua functions that return multiple results are declared by using
multiple `@return` docstring directives. But the generated docs don't
make it obvious what this represents.
Solution:
- Generate a "Return (multiple)" heading for multiple-value functions.
- Fix `@note` directives randomly placed after `@return`.
* feat(lua): allow vim.wo to be double indexed
Problem: `vim.wo` does not implement `setlocal`
Solution: Allow `vim.wo` to be double indexed

Problem:
The parent commit added a new vim.get_visual_selection() function to
improve visual star. But that is redundant with vim.region(). Any
current limitations of vim.region() should be fixed instead of adding
a new function.
Solution:
Delete vim.get_visual_selection().
Use vim.region() to get the visual selection.
TODO: fails with visual "block" selections.
Problem:
Visual mode "*", "#" mappings don't work on text with "/", "\", "?", and
newlines.
Solution:
Get the visual selection and escape it as a search pattern.
Add functions vim.get_visual_selection and _search_for_visual_selection.
Fix#21676
Problem:
Showing an error via vim.notify() makes it awkward for callers such as
lsp/handlers.lua to avoid showing redundant errors.
Solution:
Return the message instead of showing it. Let the caller decide whether
and when to show the message.

Rejected experiment: move vim.ui.open() to vim.env.open()
Problem:
`vim.ui` is where user-interface "providers" live, which can be
overridden. It would also be useful to have a "providers" namespace for
platform-specific features such as "open", clipboard, python, and the other
providers listed in `:help providers`. We could overload `vim.ui` to
serve that purpose as the single "providers" namespace, but
`vim.ui.nodejs()` for example seems awkward.
Solution:
`vim.env` currently has too narrow of a purpose. Overload it to also be
a namespace for `vim.env.open`.

Enforce consistent terminology (defined in
`gen_help_html.lua:spell_dict`) for common misspellings.
This does not spellcheck English in general (perhaps a future TODO,
though it may be noisy).
Problem:
- `vim.json` exposes various global options which:
- affect all Nvim Lua plugins (especially the LSP client)
- are undocumented and untested
- can cause confusing problems such as: cc76ae3abe
- `vim.json` exposes redundant mechanisms:
- `vim.json.null` is redundant with `vim.NIL`.
- `array_mt` is redundant because Nvim uses a metatable
(`vim.empty_dict()`) for empty dict instead, which `vim.json` is
configured to use by default (see `as_empty_dict`).
Example:
```
:lua vim.print(vim.json.decode('{"bar":[],"foo":{}}'))
--> { bar = {}, foo = vim.empty_dict() }
```
Thus we don't need to also decorate empty arrays with `array_mt`.
Solution:
Remove the functions from the public vim.json interface.
Comment-out the implementation code to minimize drift from upstream.
TODO:
- Expose the options as arguments to `vim.json.new()`

- docs: mention --luadev-mod to run with lua runtime files
When changing a lua file in the ./runtime folder, a new contributor
might expect changes to be applied to the built Neovim binary.
