TODO:
FUNC_API_REMOTE_ONLY APIs such as `nvim_ui_*` cannot (yet) be used in
`nvim_exec_lua`. We can change FUNC_API_REMOTE_ONLY to allow
Vimscript/Lua to pass an explicit `channel_id`. #28437
Problem:
Besides being redundant with vim.iter():flatten(), `tbl_flatten` has
these problems:
- Has `tbl_` prefix but only accepts lists.
- Discards some results! Compare the following:
- iter.flatten():
```
vim.iter({1, { { a = 2 } }, { 3 } }):flatten():totable()
```
- tbl_flatten:
```
vim.tbl_flatten({1, { { a = 2 } }, { 3 } })
```
Solution:
Deprecate tbl_flatten.
Note:
iter:flatten() currently fails ("flatten() requires a list-like table")
on this code from gen_lsp.lua:
local anonym = vim.iter({ -- remove nil
anonymous_num > 1 and '' or nil,
'---@class ' .. anonymous_classname,
}):flatten():totable()
Should we enhance :flatten() to work for arrays?
Problem: Using xstrlcpy() when the exact length of the string to be
copied is known is not ideal because it requires adding 1 to
the length and an unnecessary strlen().
Solution: Add xmemcpyz() and use it in place of such xstrlcpy() calls.
Problem:
The use-case for the convenience functions vim.iter.map(),
vim.iter.filter(), vim.iter.totable() is not clear.
Solution:
Drop them for now. We can revisit after 0.10 release.

Problem:
We need to establish a pattern for `enable()`.
Solution:
- First `enable()` parameter is always `enable:boolean`.
- Update `vim.diagnostic.enable()`
- Update `vim.lsp.inlay_hint.enable()`.
- It was not released yet, so no deprecation is needed. But to help
HEAD users, it will show an informative error.
- vim.deprecate():
- Improve message when the "removal version" is a *current or older* version.
Problem:
The order of the validation performed by vim.validate() is
unpredictable.
- harder to write reliable tests.
- confusing UX because validation result might return different errors randomly.
Solution:
Iterate the input using `vim.spairs()`.
Future:
Ideally, the caller could provide an "ordered dict".
Problem:
vim.diagnostic.enable() does not match the signature of vim.lsp.inlay_hint.enable()
Solution:
- Change the signature so that the first 2 args are (bufnr, enable).
- Introduce a 3rd `opts` arg.
- Currently it only supports `opts.ns_id`.
Problem:
`vim.diagnostic.is_disabled` and `vim.diagnostic.disable` are unnecessary
and inconsistent with the "toggle" pattern (established starting with
`vim.lsp.inlay_hint`, see https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/25512#pullrequestreview-1676750276
As a reminder, the rationale is:
- we always need `enable()`
- we always end up needing `is_enabled()`
- "toggle" can be achieved via `enable(not is_enabled())`
- therefore,
- `toggle()` and `disable()` are redundant
- `is_disabled()` is a needless inconsistency
Solution:
- Introduce `vim.diagnostic.is_enabled`, and `vim.diagnostic.enable(…, enable:boolean)`
- Note: Future improvement would be to add an `enable()` overload `enable(enable:boolean, opts: table)`.
- Deprecate `vim.diagnostic.is_disabled`, `vim.diagnostic.disable`
Problem:
vim.ui.open "locks up" Nvim if the spawned process does not terminate. #27986
Solution:
- Change `vim.ui.open()`:
- Do not call `wait()`.
- Return a `SystemObj`. The caller can decide if it wants to `wait()`.
- Change `gx` to `wait()` only a short time.
- Allows `gx` to show a message if the command fails, without the
risk of waiting forever.
Problem: String interpolation fails for Dict type
Solution: Support Dict data type properly, also support :put =Dict
(without having to convert it to string() first)

Problem: noautocmd is confusing; despite its name, it doesn't block all
autocommands (instead it blocks only those related to setting the buffer), and
is commonly used by plugins to open windows while producing minimal
side-effects.
Solution: be consistent and block all autocommands when noautocmd is set.
This includes WinNew (again), plus autocommands from entering the window (if
enter is set) like WinEnter, WinLeave, TabEnter, .etc.
See the discussion at https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/14659#issuecomment-2040029517
for more information.
Remove win_set_buf's noautocmd argument, as it's no longer needed.
NOTE: pum_create_float_preview sets noautocmd for win_set_buf, but all its
callers already use block_autocmds.
Despite that, pum_create_float_preview doesn't actually properly handle
autocommands (it has no checks for whether those from win_enter or
nvim_create_buf free the window).
For now, ensure autocommands are blocked within it for correctness (in case it's
ever called outside of a block_autocmds context; the function seems to have been
refactored in #26739 anyway).
runtime(vim): Update base-syntax, add legacy header folding

This reverts commit 4382d2ed56.
The story for this feature was left in an incomplete state. It was never
the intention to unilaterally fold all information, only the ones that
did not contain relevant information. This feature does more harm than
good in its incomplete state.
Problem: Patch 9.1.0296 causes too many issues

Solution: Back out the change for now
Revert "patch 9.1.0296: regexp: engines do not handle case-folding well"
This reverts commit 7a27c108e0509f3255ebdcb6558e896c223e4d23 it causes
issues with syntax highlighting and breaks the FreeBSD and MacOS CI. It
needs more work.

Problem: Regex engines do not handle case-folding well
Solution: Correctly calculate byte length of characters to skip
When the regexp engine compares two utf-8 codepoints case insensitively
it may match an adjacent character, because it assumes it can step over
as many bytes as the pattern contains.
This however is not necessarily true because of case-folding, a
multi-byte UTF-8 character can be considered equal to some single-byte
value.
Let's consider the pattern 'ſ' and the string 's'. When comparing and
ignoring case, the single character 's' matches, and since it matches
Vim will try to step over the match (by the amount of bytes of the
pattern), assuming that since it matches, the length of both strings is
the same.
However in that case, it should only step over the single byte
value 's' so by 1 byte and try to start matching after it again. So for the
backtracking engine we need to ensure:
- we try to match the correct length for the pattern and the text
- in case of a match, we step over it correctly
The same thing can happen for the NFA engine, when skipping to the next
character to test for a match. We are skipping over the regstart
pointer, however we do not consider the case that because of
case-folding we may need to adjust the number of bytes to skip over. So
this needs to be adjusted in find_match_text() as well.
A related issue turned out, when prog->match_text is actually empty. In
that case we should try to find the next match and skip this condition.

This actually won't cause "duplicate tag" errors if plugins have tags of
the same name, because E154 is only given for duplicate tags in the same
directory.
Without those tags, trying to use :h for these mappings jumps to other
places, because there are matches with higher score.
Design
- Enable commenting support only through `gc` mappings for simplicity.
No ability to configure, no Lua module, no user commands. Yet.
- Overall implementation is a simplified version of 'mini.comment'
module of 'echasnovski/mini.nvim' adapted to be a better suit for
core. It basically means reducing code paths which use only specific
fixed set of plugin config.
All used options are default except `pad_comment_parts = false`. This
means that 'commentstring' option is used as is without forcing single
space inner padding.
As 'tpope/vim-commentary' was considered for inclusion earlier, here is
a quick summary of how this commit differs from it:
- **User-facing features**. Both implement similar user-facing mappings.
This commit does not include `gcu` which is essentially a `gcgc`.
There are no commands, events, or configuration in this commit.
- **Size**. Both have reasonably comparable number of lines of code,
while this commit has more comments in tricky areas.
- **Maintainability**. This commit has (purely subjectively) better
readability, tests, and Lua types.
- **Configurability**. This commit has no user configuration, while
'vim-commentary' has some (partially as a counter-measure to possibly
modifying 'commentstring' option).
- **Extra features**:
- This commit supports tree-sitter by computing `'commentstring'`
option under cursor, which can matter in presence of tree-sitter
injected languages.
- This commit comments blank lines while 'tpope/vim-commentary' does
not. At the same time, blank lines are not taken into account when
deciding the toggle action.
- This commit has much better speed on larger chunks of lines (like
above 1000). This is thanks to using `nvim_buf_set_lines()` to set
all new lines at once, and not with `vim.fn.setline()`.
runtime: Remove fallback :CompilerSet definition from compiler plugins
The :CompilerSet command was added in version Vim 6.4 which was released
twenty years ago. Other runtime files do not support versions of that
vintage so it is reasonable to remove this fallback command definition
now.

Ref #21393
- Move default user commands to _defaults.lua as that now contains all
kinds of defaults rather than just default mappings and menus.
- Remove the :aunmenu as there are no menus when _defaults.lua is run.
Problem: Dialog for file changed outside of Vim not tested.
Solution: Add a test. Move FileChangedShell test. Add 'L' flag to
feedkeys().

Problem: Injecting languages for file redirects (e.g., in bash) is not
possible.
Solution: Add `@injection.filename` capture that is piped through
`vim.filetype.match({ filename = node_text })`; the resulting filetype
(if not `nil`) is then resolved as a language (either directly or
through the list maintained via `vim.treesitter.language.register()`).
Note: `@injection.filename` is a non-standard capture introduced by
Helix; having two editors implement it makes it likely to be upstreamed.
