Reduce API surface. We don't need so many variations of functions. Too
many functions means verbose, largely redundant documentation, tests,
and cognitive burden.
- In the process, refactored focusable_preview to a util function.
- Add text for locations_to_items of the current line.
- Improve location callback to handle multiple return values by using
set_qflist.
- Remove update_tagstack and leave note for future travelers.
Add set_qflist and set_loclist.
- Also add locations_to_items, which calculates byte offsets for
character positions in files and avoids unnecessary operations.
- Add vim variable meta accessors: vim.env, vim.{g,v,w,bo,wo}
- Redo gen_char_blob to generate multiple blobs instead of just one
so that multiple Lua modules can be inlined.
- Reorder vim.lua inclusion so that it can use previously defined C
functions and utility functions like vim.shared and vim.inspect things.
- Inline shared.lua into nvim, but also keep it available in runtime.
- Use correct implementation of text_edits.
- Send indent options to rangeFormatting and formatting.
- Remove references to vim bindings and filetype from lsp.txt
- Add more examples to docs.
- Add before_init to allow changing initialize_params.
- Implements textDocument/formatting, textDocument/rangeFormatting,
workspace/applyEdit.
TODO:
- still has edge cases around replacement probably. Only tested with
inserts on the same position.
- Rename builtin_callbacks to default_callbacks and slightly change its
semantics:
- No longer contains the default implementations. Instead, any
default_callbacks will be used in preference for our .buf methods.
- Add this to the docs.
Mainly configuration and RPC infrastructure can be considered "done". Specific requests and their callbacks will be improved later (and also served by plugins). There are also some TODO:s for the client itself, like incremental updates.

We often want to do type checking of public function arguments.
- test: Rename utility_function_spec.lua to vim_spec.lua
- .luacov: Map lua module names
It's a bit cumbersome for us to add an export target every time we define a new function.
It's also cumbersome to care about the order of definition when creating a new function by referring to other functions in the module.
- Rename `meth_pcall`.
- Make `pcall_err` raise an error if the function does not fail.
- Add `vim.pesc()` to treat a string as literal where a Lua pattern is
expected.
This is where "pure functions" can live, which can be shared by Nvim and
test logic which may not have a running Nvim instance available.
If in the future we use Nvim itself as the Lua engine for tests, then
these functions could be moved directly onto the `vim` Lua module.
