Problem: The eval.txt help file is too big.
Solution: Split off testing support to testing.txt. Move function details
to where the functionality is explained.

Vim commit 5477506a9f01d40fad2e8f0555bc37adee30478f
contains the duplicate tag fix in runtime/doc/testing.txt.
Problem: Cannot read back the prompt of a prompt buffer.
Solution: Add prompt_getprompt(). (Ben Jackson, closesvim/vim#6851)
077cc7aa0e
Updated prompt_getprompt() doc to cb80aa2d53
and removed mention of method syntax usage (not supported by Nvim).
Replacement for Vim's test_null_string().
Vim uses it to verify that its codebase handles null strings.
Preparation for the Test_null_list() in patch v8.2.1822.
Use v:_null_string, not non-existent env var, for null string tests.
Mention v:_null_string in id() because id(v:_null_string) returns (nil).
...signs is slow
Problem: Placing a larger number of signs is slow.
Solution: Add functions for dealing with a list of signs. (Yegappan
Lakshmanan, closes#4636)
Problem: When 'matchpairs' is empty every character beeps. (Marco Hinz)
Solution: Bail out when no character in 'matchpairs' was found.
(closesvim/vim#8053) Add assert_nobeep().

Problem: shiftwidth() does not take 'vartabstop' into account.
Solution: Use the cursor position or a position explicitly passed.
Also make >> and << work better with 'vartabstop'. (Christian
Brabandt)

N/A patches for version.c:
vim-patch:8.1.2344: Cygwin: warning for using strptime()
Problem: Cygwin: warning for using strptime().
Solution: Move defining _XOPEN_SOURCE and __USE_XOPEN to vim.h. (Ken Takata,
closesvim/vim#5265) Use 700 for _XOPEN_SOURCE for mkdtemp().

Solution: Support optional function arguments with a default value. (Andy
Massimino, closesvim/vim#3952)

Solution: Add v:exiting like in Neovim. (Yegappan Lakshmanan, closesvim/vim#7395)

Problem: MS-Windows: cannot run all vim9 tests.
Solution: Make test_vim9 target work.

Before #12937, the only way to specify the `$TERM` for a pty job was
through the `TERM` key in the job's opts dict. This was shuttled to the
child process throug a special field on the PtyProcess object and
injected into the environment after forking.
Now that we have a proper way to specify the environment for a job, we
can simply ensure that the env dict has a proper `TERM` set and avoid
the extra shuttling of data around.
This deprecates the use of the `TERM` option, but will still honor it if
present, although at a lower priority than a `TERM` present in the env
dict.
This also fixes#13874 because we're no longer trying to overwrite
`TERM` in the env dict with the special pty `term_name`. Doing so
raises an internal error because of the existing key which, under
certain circumstances, would cause the "hit enter" prompt. However,
since the child process had already forked, there was no way for the
user to acknowledge the prompt and we would just hang there.
Problem: Cannot easily get all the current marks.
Solution: Add getmarklist(). (Yegappan Lakshmanan, closes#6032)

Cherry-pick the column number fix from patch v8.2.0871
because patch v8.2.0871 cannot be fully ported
without the method patches.

Problem: Cannot get window type for autocmd and preview window.
Solution: Add types to win_gettype(). (Yegappan Lakshmanan, closesvim/vim#6277)

Cherry-pick test_preview.vim,test_window_cmd.vim changes
from patch v8.2.0522.
Problem: trim() always trims both ends.
Solution: Add an argument to only trim the beginning or end. (Yegappan
Lakshmanan, closesvim/vim#6126)

Problem: Quickfix buffer shows up in list, can't get buffer number.
Solution: Make the quickfix buffer unlisted when the quickfix window is
closed. get the quickfix buffer number with getqflist().
(Yegappan Lakshmanan, closesvim/vim#4113)
647e24ba3d
Problem: Cannot easily change the current quickfx list index.
Solution: Add the "idx" argument to setqflist(). (Yegappan Lakshmanan,
closesvim/vim#3701)

Problem: Dictionary with string keys is longer than needed.
Solution: Use *{key: val} for literaly keys.

Vim's popup,textprop features are N/A.
Neovim has not polyfilled their APIs.
Skip docs and tests for these features.
* support for :perl, :perlfile, :perldo and perleval()
* document that the perl provider doesn't currently work on Windows
* document that the perl legacy interface is now also supported
* added perleval() documentation
* import legacy perl interface tests
* only perl 5.22+ is supported
* healtcheck: use g:perl_host_prog if its set instead
using just 'perl' isn't correct as it may not be the version requested.
ditto for 'cpanm', rather go through 'App::cpanminus' to find the latest
perl version
- remove redundant autocmd list
This "grouped" list is useless, it only gets in the way when searching
for event names.
- intro.txt: cleanup
- starting.txt: update, revisit
- doc: `:help bisect`
- mbyte.txt: update aliases 1656367b90. closes#11960
- options: remove 'guifontset'. Why:
- It is complicated and is used by almost no one.
- It is unlikely to be implemented by Nvim GUIs (complicated to parse,
specific to Xorg...).
Problem: Not so easy to interrupt a script programatically.
Solution: Add the interrupt() function. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto, closesvim/vim#2834)
