Treat stdin as text by default (so the "-" file is not needed):
echo foo | nvim
It works with file args (implemented in next commit), too:
echo foo | nvim file1.txt file2.txt
Why? Because:
- Execution of input is (1) almost always unintentional/confusing,
and (2) potentially destructive.
- Avoids the need for time-delayed warning. #7659
- The _common_ case is to open text in a buffer, not send commands.
Note:
- Not for Ex-mode (-es) because it is used by scripts. But maybe `-Es`?
- Not for --headless, because stdio may be a protocol stream and may be
used for any purpose by stdioopen().
To treat stdin as Normal-mode commands, use `-s -` instead:
echo ifoo | nvim -s -
Other alternatives:
- Replay a register. E.g. the following mostly works, except @q aborts
on any "beep" (e.g. if the cursor can't move).
nvim -c '%d q|norm @q' -
- Future: Let `:%source` work with unsaved buffer contents?

gzip tests fail on Windows.
mklink requires admin privs for file symbolic links so mklink fails.

If multiple internal stream callbacks were recieved before vimL
callbacks got called, only invoke one vimL callback with all data.
Problem: No autocmd triggered in Insert mode with visible popup menu.
Solution: Add TextChangedP. (Prabir Shrestha, Christian Brabandt,
closesvim/vim#2372, closesvim/vim#1691)
Fix that the TextChanged autocommands are not always triggered
when sourcing a script.

- Return VimL errors instead of generic errors for:
- nvim_call_function
- nvim_call_dict_function
- Fix tests which were silently broken before this change.
This violates #6150 where we agreed not to translate API errors. But
that can be fixed later.
The `internal` param is difficult to explain, and will rarely be
anything but `true`. To avoid it, use a hack: check if the resolved
dict value starts with "function(".
Make `:verbose set ...` show when an option was last modified by an
API client or Lua script/chunk. In the case of an API client, the
channel ID is displayed.
