**Problem:** Despite the LSP providing the option for language servers
to specify a range with a hover response (for highlighting), Neovim does
not give the option to highlight this range.
**Solution:** Add an option to `buf.hover()` which causes this range to
be highlighted.

Problem: Separate message emitted for each newline present in Lua
print() arguments.
Solution: Make msg_multiline() handle NUL bytes. Refactor print() to use
msg_multiline(). Refactor vim.print() to use print().
Problem: Treesitter highlighter implements an on_bytes callback that
just re-marks a buffer range for redraw. The edit that
prompted the callback will already have done that.
Solution: Remove redundant on_bytes callback from the treesitter
highlighter module.
Problem: Documentation for "hl_group" in nvim_buf_set_extmark() is
unclear. "hl_group" in nvim_echo() does not accept
highlight group id.
Solution: Move documentation for highlight group name/id to first
mention of hl_group. Update nvim_echo() to accept highlight
group id.
Problem: Floating windows with focusable set to false can reasonably be
expected to be UI elements but are listed in some outputs that
should contain only regular windows.
Solution: Hide unfocusable floating windows from the default tabline and
:tabs.
Problem: No longer able to show prompt messages with vim.ui_attach().
Solution: Do not execute callback in fast context for prompt message
kinds. These events must be safe to show the incoming message
so the event itself serves to indicate that the message
should be shown immediately.
Problem: message history is fixed to 200
Solution: Add the 'msghistory' option, increase the default
value to 500 (Shougo Matsushita)

Problem: Lua callbacks for "msg_show" events with vim.ui_attach() are
executed when it is not safe.
Solution: Disallow non-fast API calls for "msg_show" event callbacks.
Automatically detach callback after excessive errors.
Make sure fast APIs do not modify Nvim state.
- Enable folding of class, enum and interface declarations.
- Highlight constructor names with the Function highlight group, like
other special methods.
- Mark function definitions using special method names as errors.
- Highlight :type arguments.

Problem: Ext_messages chunks only contain the highlight attr id, which
is not very useful for vim.ui_attach() consumers.
Solotion: Add highlight group id to message chunks, which can easily be
used to highlight text in the TUI through nvim_buf_set_extmark():
hl_group = synIDattr(id, "name").
Set the "matchparen_disable_cursor_hl" config variable to disable
highlighting the cursor with the MatchParen highlighting group.

Problem:
There are three different ways of marking an option as hidden, `enable_if
= false`, `hidden = true` and `immutable = true`. These also have different
behaviors. Options hidden with `enable_if = false` can't have their value
fetched using Vim script or the API, but options hidden with `hidden = true` or
`immutable = true` can. On the other hand, options with `hidden = true` do not
error when trying to set their value, but options with `immutable = true` do.
Solution:
Remove `enable_if = false`, remove the `hidden` property for options, and use
`immutable = true` to mark an option as hidden instead. Also make hidden option
variable pointers always point to the default value, which allows fetching the
value of every hidden option using Vim script and the API. This does also mean
that trying to set a hidden option will now give an error instead of just being
ignored.
Problem: 'findexpr' can't be used for lambads

- Partition the handlers in vim.lsp.handlers as:
- client to server response handlers (RCS)
- server to client request handlers (RSC)
- server to client notification handlers (NSC)
Note use string indexes instead of protocol.methods for improved
typing in LuaLS (tip: use hover on RCS, RSC or NSC).
It did not work very well, at least on Debian 12, and I am not sure Git
Bash and WSL, for example, were taken care of as maintenance stalled.
The whole logic was somewhat convoluted with some parts repeatedly invoking
failed commands.
The file handling was outdated, for example, nowadays Netscape is rarely
used, and also opinionated, for example mainly Microsoft Paint and Gimp for
Image files.
Instead, let's use (xdg-)open and similar commands on other systems
which respects the user's preferences.

`-NonInteractive` at least somewhat hints to pwsh/powershell, that shell
sessions created from :! are not interactive, though even that is not
foolproof, because powershell is weird.
`$PSStyle.OutputRendering='plaintext'` causes pwsh/powershell
to omit ANSI escape sequences in its output.
Problem: 'findexpr' completion doesn't set v:fname to cmdline argument.
Solution: Set v:fname to the cmdline argument as-is (zeertzjq).

feat(diagnostics)!: sort underline with severity_sort
BREAKING CHANGE: underline will be applied with a higher value than `vim.hl.priorities.diagnostics`
* deprecate old signatures
* move to new str_byteindex/str_utfindex signature
* use single-underscore name (double-underscore is reserved for Lua itself)
Problem: We use `void *` for option default values, which is confusing and can cause problems with type-correctness. It also doesn't accomodate for multitype options. On top of that, it also leads to default boolean option values not behaving correctly on big endian systems.
Solution: Use `OptVal` for option default values.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `:set {option}<` removes the local value for all global-local options instead of just string global-local options.
- `:setlocal {option}<` copies the global value to the local value for number and boolean global-local options instead of removing the local value.
PROBLEM:
There are several limitations to vim.str_byteindex, vim.str_utfindex:
1. They throw given out-of-range indexes. An invalid (often user/lsp-provided)
index doesn't feel exceptional and should be handled by the caller.
`:help dev-error-patterns` suggests that `retval, errmsg` is the preferred
way to handle this kind of failure.
2. They cannot accept an encoding. So LSP needs wrapper functions. #25272
3. The current signatures are not extensible.
* Calling: The function currently uses a fairly opaque boolean value to
indicate to identify the encoding.
* Returns: The fact it can throw requires wrapping in pcall.
4. The current name doesn't follow suggestions in `:h dev-naming` and I think
`get` would be suitable.
SOLUTION:
- Because these are performance-sensitive, don't introduce `opts`.
- Introduce an "overload" that accepts `encoding:string` and
`strict_indexing:bool` params.
```lua
local col = vim.str_utfindex(line, encoding, [index, [no_out_of_range]])
```
Support the old versions by dispatching on the type of argument 2, and
deprecate that form.
```lua
vim.str_utfindex(line) -- (utf-32 length, utf-16 length), deprecated
vim.str_utfindex(line, index) -- (utf-32 index, utf-16 index), deprecated
vim.str_utfindex(line, 'utf-16') -- utf-16 length
vim.str_utfindex(line, 'utf-16', index) -- utf-16 index
vim.str_utfindex(line, 'utf-16', math.huge) -- error: index out of range
vim.str_utfindex(line, 'utf-16', math.huge, false) -- utf-16 length
```

Problem:
Hidden options are documented despite being no-ops.
Solution:
Remove docs for hidden options.
Move tags for options that we plan to restore, to ":help nvim-missing".
Move tags for permanently removed options, to ":help nvim-removed".
Problem: testing of options can be further improved
Solution: split the generated option test into test_options_all.vim,
add more test cases, save and restore values, fix use-after-free

Problem:
`vim.validate()` takes two forms when it only needs one.
Solution:
- Teach the fast form all the features of the spec form.
- Deprecate the spec form.
- General optimizations for both forms.
- Add a `message` argument which can be used alongside or in place
of the `optional` argument.
Problem:
- `vim.highlight` module does not follow `:help dev-name-common`, which
documents the name for "highlight" as "hl".
- Shorter names are usually preferred.
Solution:
Rename `vim.highlight` to `vim.hl`.
This is not a breaking change until 2.0 (or maybe never).
vim-patch:8.2.4744: a terminal window can't use the bell
vim-patch:8.2.4745: using wrong flag for using bell in the terminal
BREAKING CHANGE: Bells from :terminal are now silent by default, unless
'belloff' option doesn't contain "term" or "all".
Problem:
If there are multiple LSP clients, it's not clear which actions are provided by which servers. #30710
Solution:
Show the server name next to each action (only if there are multiple clients).
This commit makaes the following changes to the vim help syntax:
- fix excessive URL detection in help, because `file:{filename}` in
doc/options.txt is determined to be a URL.
- update highlighting N for :resize in help
- split Italian-specific syntax into separate help script
- highlight `Note` in parentheses in help
- update 'titlestring' behaviour in documentation for invalid '%' format

Solution: Kondo the place up.
Still sparks _some_ joy (moved to new `runtime/scripts` folder):

* `mswin.vim`
* `tools/emoji_list.lua`
No longer sparks joy (removed):
* `macmap.vim` (gvimrc file; not useful in Nvim)
* `tools/check_colors.vim` (no longer useful with new default colorscheme and treesitter)
* `macros/editexisting.vim` (throws error on current Nvim)
* `macros/justify.vim` (obsolete shim for `packadd! justify`)
* `macros/matchit.vim` (same)
* `macros/shellmenu.vim` (same)

**Problems:**
- `vim.treesitter.language.inspect()` returns duplicate
symbol names, sometimes up to 6 of one kind in the case of `markdown`
- The list-like `symbols` table can have holes and is thus not even a
valid msgpack table anyway, mentioned in a test
**Solution:** Return symbols as a map, rather than a list, where field
names are the names of the symbol. The boolean value associated with the
field encodes whether or not the symbol is named.
Note that anonymous nodes are surrounded with double quotes (`"`) to
prevent potential collisions with named counterparts that have the same
identifier.
This commit also marks `child_containing_descendant()` as deprecated
(per upstream's documentation), and uses `child_with_descendant()` in
its place. Minimum required tree-sitter version will now be `0.24`.
Problem: Currently completion attribute hl_group is combined with
all items, which is redundant and confusing with kind_hlgroup
Solution: Renamed to abbr_hlgroup and combine it only with the abbr item
(glepnir).
