Problem: We have `P_(BOOL|NUM|STRING)` macros to represent an option's type, which is redundant because `OptValType` can already do that. The current implementation of option type flags is also too limited to allow adding multitype options in the future.
Solution: Remove `P_(BOOL|NUM|STRING)` and replace it with a new `type_flags` attribute in `vimoption_T`. Also do some groundwork for adding multitype options in the future.
Side-effects: Attempting to set an invalid keycode option (e.g. `set t_foo=123`) no longer gives an error.
Problem: line2byte behavior is changed after commit b051b13. It no
longer return `-1` on empty buffer.
Solution: use `nof_ff` instead of `!ff_dos` as condition. Then
compatible behavior of line2byte() is restored.
This is the command invoked repeatedly to make the changes:
:%s/^\(.*\)|\%(\*\(\d\+\)\)\?$\n\1|\%(\*\(\d\+\)\)\?$/\=submatch(1)..'|*'..(max([str2nr(submatch(2)),1])+max([str2nr(submatch(3)),1]))/g
Problem:
Since e057b38e70#20757 we support empty key in JSON encode/decode,
but we don't allow it in RPC object => Vim dict conversion. But empty
string is a valid key in Vim dicts and the msgpack spec.
Empty string key was disallowed in 7c01d5ff92 (2014) but that
commit/PR doesn't explicitly discuss it, so presumably it was a "seems
reasonable" decision (or Vimscript didn't allow empty keys until later).
Solution:
Remove the check in `object_to_vim()`. Note that
`tv_dict_item_alloc_len` will invoke `memcpy(…, 0)` but that's allowed
by the C spec: https://stackoverflow.com/a/3751937/152142
Problem: Default color scheme is suboptimal.
Solution: Start using new color scheme. Introduce new `vim` color scheme
for opt-in backward compatibility.
------
Main design ideas
- Be "Neovim branded".
- Be minimal for 256 colors with a bit more shades for true colors.
- Be accessible through high enough contrast ratios.
- Be suitable for dark and light backgrounds via exchange of dark and
light palettes.
------
Palettes
- Have dark and light variants. Implemented through exporeted
`NvimDark*` and `NvimLight*` hex colors.
- Palettes have 4 shades of grey for UI elements and 6 colors (red,
yellow, green, cyan, blue, magenta).
- Actual values are computed procedurally in Oklch color space based on
a handful of hyperparameters.
- Each color has a 256 colors variant with perceptually closest color.
------
Highlight groups
Use:
- Grey shades for general UI according to their design.
- Bold text for keywords (`Statement` highlight group). This is an
important choice to increase accessibility for people with color
deficiencies, as it doesn't rely on actual color.
- Green for strings, `DiffAdd` (as background), `DiagnosticOk`, and some
minor text UI elements.
- Cyan as main syntax color, i.e. for function usage (`Function`
highlight group), `DiffText`, `DiagnosticInfo`, and some minor text UI
elements.
- Red to generally mean high user attention, i.e. errors; in particular
for `ErrorMsg`, `DiffDelete`, `DiagnosticError`.
- Yellow very sparingly only with true colors to mean mild user
attention, i.e. warnings. That is, `DiagnosticWarn` and `WarningMsg`.
- Blue very sparingly only with true colors as `DiagnosticHint` and some
additional important syntax group (like `Identifier`).
- Magenta very carefully (if at all).
------
Notes
- To make tests work without relatively larege updates, each one is
prepended with an equivalent of the call `:colorscheme vim`.
Plus some tests which spawn new Neovim instances also now use 'vim'
color scheme.
In some cases tests are updated to fit new default color scheme.
Problem: Unable to identify legacy signs when fetching extmarks with
`nvim_buf_get_extmarks()`.
Solution: Add "sign_name" to the extmark detail array.
Add some misc. changes as follow-up to #25724
Remove the monolithic Decoration struct. Before this change, each extmark
could either represent just a hl_id + priority value as a inline
decoration, or it would take a pointer to this monolitic 112 byte struct
which has to be allocated.
This change separates the decorations into two pieces: DecorSignHighlight
for signs, highlights and simple set-flag decorations (like spell,
ui-watched), and DecorVirtText for virtual text and lines.
The main separation here is whether they are expected to allocate more
memory. Currently this is not really true as sign text has to be an
allocated string, but the plan is to get rid of this eventually (it can
just be an array of two schar_T:s). Further refactors are expected to
improve the representation of each decoration kind individually. The
goal of this particular PR is to get things started by cutting the
Gordian knot which was the monolithic struct Decoration.
Now, each extmark can either contain chained indicies/pointers to
these kinds of objects, or it can fit a subset of DecorSignHighlight
inline.
The point of this change is not only to make decorations smaller in
memory. In fact, the main motivation is to later allow them to grow
_larger_, but on a dynamic, on demand fashion. As a simple example, it
would be possible to augment highlights to take a list of multiple
`hl_group`:s, which then would trivially map to a chain of multiple
DecorSignHighlight entries.
One small feature improvement included with this refactor itself, is
that the restriction that extmarks cannot be removed inside a decoration
provider has been lifted. These are instead safely lifetime extended
on a "to free" list until the current iteration of screen drawing is done.
NB: flags is a mess. but DecorLevel is useless, this slightly less so

Problem: maparg() does not indicate the type of script where it was defined.
Solution: Add "scriptversion".

Problem: No way to have extmarks automatically removed when the range it
is attached to is deleted.
Solution: Add new 'invalidate' property that will hide a mark when the
entirety of its range is deleted. When "undo_restore" is set
to false, delete the mark from the buffer instead.
While the interfaces for setting number and boolean options are now unified by #25394, there is still a separate `set_string_option` function that is used for setting a string option. This PR removes that function and merges it with set_option.
BREAKING CHANGE: `v:option_old` is now the old global value for all global-local options, instead of just string global-local options. Local value for a global-local number/boolean option is now unset when the option is set (e.g. using `:set` or `nvim_set_option_value`) without a scope, which means they now behave the same way as string options.
Ref: #25672
`SREQ_*` values are now actual typedef'd enums. `get_option_value_strict()` has also been refactored and split into two functions, `get_option_attrs()` for getting the option attributes, and `get_option_value_strict()` for getting the actual value. Moreover, it now returns an `OptVal`. Other miscellaneous refactors have also been made.
"VimEnter foo" was accepted as a valid event name for "VimEnter".
Events delimited with commas, eg. "VimEnter,BufRead", were also
accepted, even though only the first event was actually parsed.

If you would insert element X at position j, then if you are moving that
same element X from position i < j, you should move it to position j -
1, because you are losing an element.
This error caused a gap to be left in the array, so that it looked like
[x, null, y] instead of [x, y], where len = 2. This triggered #25147.
Fixes: #25147
The removes the previous restriction that nvim_buf_set_extmark()
could not be used to highlight arbitrary multi-line regions
The problem can be summarized as follows: let's assume an extmark with a
hl_group is placed covering the region (5,0) to (50,0) Now, consider
what happens if nvim needs to redraw a window covering the lines 20-30.
It needs to be able to ask the marktree what extmarks cover this region,
even if they don't begin or end here.
Therefore the marktree needs to be augmented with the information covers
a point, not just what marks begin or end there. To do this, we augment
each node with a field "intersect" which is a set the ids of the
marks which overlap this node, but only if it is not part of the set of
any parent. This ensures the number of nodes that need to be explicitly
marked grows only logarithmically with the total number of explicitly
nodes (and thus the number of of overlapping marks).
Thus we can quickly iterate all marks which overlaps any query position
by looking up what leaf node contains that position. Then we only need
to consider all "start" marks within that leaf node, and the "intersect"
set of that node and all its parents.
Now, and the major source of complexity is that the tree restructuring
operations (to ensure that each node has T-1 <= size <= 2*T-1) also need
to update these sets. If a full inner node is split in two, one of the
new parents might start to completely overlap some ranges and its ids
will need to be moved from its children's sets to its own set.
Similarly, if two undersized nodes gets joined into one, it might no
longer completely overlap some ranges, and now the children which do
needs to have the have the ids in its set instead. And then there are
the pivots! Yes the pivot operations when a child gets moved from one
parent to another.
Some more reasonable defaults for topline:
- if topline was replaced with another line, that now becomes topline
- if line was inserted just before topline, display it. This is more
similar to the previous API behavior.
