- v8.2.2324

Make STR2NR_OOCT work the same as STR2NR_OCT when forcing.
In Vim, STR2NR_FORCE | STR2NR_OOCT isn't handled, and doesn't actually
force anything. Rather than abort(), make it work as STR2NR_OCT.
This means STR2NR_FORCE | STR2NR_OCT works the same as
STR2NR_FORCE | STR2NR_OOCT and STR2NR_FORCE | STR2NR_OCT | STR2NR_OOCT.
Problem: Cannot read back the prompt of a prompt buffer.

and removed mention of method syntax usage (not supported by Nvim).

Problem: Cygwin: warning for using strptime().
Solution: Move defining _XOPEN_SOURCE and __USE_XOPEN to vim.h. (Ken Takata,
closesvim/vim#5265) Use 700 for _XOPEN_SOURCE for mkdtemp().
6a228c6463
Problem: Cannot easily get all the current marks.
Solution: Add getmarklist(). (Yegappan Lakshmanan, closes#6032)
cfb4b47de0
