Problem: Currently Neovim only searches for lpeg.dylib, liblpeg.dylib,
etc. on MacOS, but a normal installation of lpeg will produce lpeg.so
instead. There are explicit workarounds for this by modifying lpeg's
package in Homebrew, and will shortly be another in spack.
Solution: also search for lpeg.so even if that's not the platform
default, because Lua and luarocks use it anyway.
Forcing the build type to be one of the default types was intended to
prevent usage of custom build types which risks unpredictability.
Unfortunately, many distributions patch this check out so they can use
a custom type anyway, making the check moot in the first place. Instead,
allow custom build types but don't try to accomodate them in the code:
we're making the assumption that anyone who wants to use a custom build
type will be able to set any additional necessary flags needed for their
specific system.
Problem: too many strlen() calls in cmdhist.c

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).
Problem: tests: tests may fail on Windows environment
Solution: use shellcmdflag=/D to skip executing autorun from

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: Insufficient test coverage for validation of option values.
Solution: Port Vim's gen_opt_test.vim and make it work with Nvim.
vim-patch:9.1.0760: tests: no error reported, if gen_opt_test.vim fails
vim-patch:9.1.0791: tests: errors in gen_opt_test.vim are not shown
