Problem: The default conceal character is documented to be a space but it's
initially a dash. (Christian Brabandt)
Solution: Make the intial value a space.

It's not documentation in the same sense as the majority of files in
runtime/doc, so is of little use to most users and should probably not
be installed alongside the "real" documentation.
It may be full of good ideas, but it's also full of things which are no
longer applicable to Nvim, such as references to platforms we no longer
support (e.g., MS-DOS), Vi compatibility, Autoconf, the Perl interface,
etc.
If someone is looking for things to fix or improve, the GitHub issue
tracker should prove useful, and, unlike todo.txt, the issues are
generally much more relevant to Nvim. Besides all that, removing
todo.txt makes porting runtime patches a bit easier.
refs #2911, discussed briefly in #2608 and #2553
All `{not in Vi}' tags have been removed, so the first sentence is no
longer true. As for the second sentence, the header ("Differences
between Vim and Vi") is already self-explanatory, so it can be removed
as well.
These are more like notes than proper documentation, so remove it as
they're not of much use unless you don't know what you're looking for.
Many of these are somewhat useful, but many also duplicate what's
already documented elsewhere. In any case, vi_diff.txt is the last
place that assorted tips'n'tricks should be located (we already have
tips.txt!!!).
In regards to Nvim, it's very outdated; for an updated list of such
arguments refer to the manual page or `nvim --help`. In all other
regards, it's of little to no use to end-users.
Note: it looks like viminfo files do not store search direction intentionally.
After reading viminfo file search direction was considered to be “forward”.
Note 2: all files created on earlier Neovim version will automatically receive
“forward” direction.
Fixes#3580
Problem: On some systems automatically adding the missing EOL causes
problems. Setting 'binary' has too many side effects.
Solution: Add the 'fixeol' option, default on. (Pavel Samarkin)

"vimrc" refers to all files that are used to configure Neovim. The main
configuration file is init.vim nowadays.
All nvimrc references that are left refer to a local ".nvimrc" which is read
if 'exrc' is set. ".ngvimrc" references were completely wiped.
Closes#3552.
Currently the logfile (":profile start {logfile}") only gets written when Vim
exits. This new command allows to dump the log immediately without exiting.
Problem: "zr" and "zm" do not take a count.
Solution: Implement the count, restrict the fold level to the maximum
nesting depth. (Marcin Szamotulski)

From the documentation itself:
:[range]o[pen] Works like |:visual|: end Ex mode.
{Vi: start editing in open mode}
...
Vim does not support open mode, since it's not really useful. For
those situations where ":open" would start open mode Vim will leave Ex
mode, which allows executing the same commands, but updates the whole
screen instead of only one line.
Part of the reason behind this is to make removing vi_diff.txt easier,
although it's also because :open is not too useful.
