Problem:
semver specifies that digit sequences in a prerelease string should be
compared as numbers, not lexically: https://semver.org/#spec-item-11
> Precedence for two pre-release versions with the same major, minor,
> and patch version MUST be determined by comparing each dot separated
> identifier from left to right until a difference is found as follows:
> 1. Identifiers consisting of only digits are compared numerically.
> 2. Identifiers with letters or hyphens are compared lexically in ASCII sort order.
> 3. Numeric identifiers always have lower precedence than non-numeric identifiers.
> 4. A larger set of pre-release fields has a higher precedence than a smaller set, if all of the preceding identifiers are equal.
Example:
1.0.0-alpha < 1.0.0-alpha.1 < 1.0.0-alpha.beta < 1.0.0-beta < 1.0.0-beta.2 < 1.0.0-beta.11 < 1.0.0-rc.1 < 1.0.0.
Solution:
cmp_prerel() treats all digit sequences in a prerelease string as
numbers. This doesn't _exactly_ match the spec, which specifies that
only dot-delimited digit sequences should be treated as numbers...
Problem:
- vim.split has more features than vim.gsplit.
- Cannot inspect the "separator" segments of vim.split or vim.gsplit.
Solution:
- Move common implementation from vim.split into vim.gsplit.
- TODO: deprecate vim.split in favor of vim.totable(vim.gsplit())?
- Introduce `keepsep` parameter.

Problem:
Build is not reproducible, because generated source files (.c/.h/) are not
deterministic, mostly because Lua pairs() is unordered by design (for security).

> The order in which the indices are enumerated is not specified [...]
>
>> The hardening of the VM deliberately randomizes string hashes. This in
>> turn randomizes the iteration order of tables with string keys.
Solution:
- Update the code generation scripts to be deterministic.
- That is only a partial solution: the exported function
(funcs_metadata.generated.h) and ui event
(ui_events_metadata.generated.h) metadata have some mpack'ed
tables, which are not serialized deterministically.
- As a workaround, introduce `PRG_GEN_LUA` cmake setting, so you can
inject a modified build of luajit (with LUAJIT_SECURITY_PRN=0)
that preserves table order.
- Longer-term we should change the mpack'ed data structure so it no
longer uses tables keyed by strings.

While `return` and `return nil` are for most intents and purposes
identical, there are situations where they're not. For example,
calculating the amount of values via the `select()` function will yield
varying results:
```lua
local function nothing() return end
local function null() return nil end
select('#', nothing()) -- 0
select('#', null()) -- 1
```
`vim.tbl_get` currently returns both nil and no results, which makes it
unreliable to use in certain situations without manually accounting for
these discrepancies.
Problem:
- pesc() returns multiple results, it should return a single result.
- tbl_islist() returns non-boolean in some branches.
- Docstring: @generic must be declared first
Solution:
Constrain docstring annotations.
Fix return types.

- Improve generated HTML by updating parser which includes fixes for
single "'" and single "|":
https://github.com/neovim/tree-sitter-vimdoc/pull/31
- Updated parser also fixes the conceal issue for "help" highlight
queries https://github.com/neovim/tree-sitter-vimdoc/issues/23 by
NOT including whitespace in nodes.
- But this means we need to restore the getws() function which scrapes
leading whitespace from the original input (buffer).

vim.tbl_get takes a table with subsequent string arguments (variadic) that
index into the table. If the value pointed to by the set of keys exists,
the function returns the value. If the set of keys does not exist, the
function returns nil.
Function arguments that expect a list should explicitly use tbl_islist
rather than just checking for a table. This helps catch some simple
errors where a single table item is passed as an argument, which passes
validation (since it's a table), but causes other errors later on.
The `split()` VimL function trims empty items from the returned list by
default, so that, e.g.
split("\nhello\nworld\n\n", "\n")
returns
["hello", "world"]
The Lua implementation of vim.split does not do this. For example,
vim.split("\nhello\nworld\n\n", "\n")
returns
{'', 'hello', 'world', '', ''}
Add an optional parameter to the vim.split function that, when true,
trims these empty elements from the front and back of the returned
table. This is only possible for vim.split and not vim.gsplit; because
vim.gsplit is an iterator, there is no way for it to know if the current
item is the last non-empty item.
Note that in order to preserve backward compatibility, the parameter for
the Lua vim.split function is `trimempty`, while the VimL function uses
`keepempty` (i.e. they are opposites). This means there is a disconnect
between these two functions that may surprise users.
The official developer documentation in in :h dev-lua-doc specifies to
use "--@" for special/magic tokens. However, this format is not
consistent with EmmyLua notation (used by some Lua language servers) nor
with the C version of the magic docstring tokens which use three comment
characters.
Further, the code base is currently split between usage of "--@",
"---@", and "--- @". In an effort to remain consistent, change all Lua
magic tokens to use "---@" and update the developer documentation
accordingly.
An empty table was previously always treated as a list, which means that
while merging tables, whenever an empty table was encountered it would
always truncate any table on the left.
`vim.tbl_deep_extend("force", { b = { a = 1 } }, { b = {} })`
Before: `{ b = {} }`
After: `{ b = { a = 1 } }`
Breaking Changes:
- Deprecated all `vim.lsp.util.{*diagnostics*}()` functions.
- Instead, all functions must be found in vim.lsp.diagnostic
- For now, they issue a warning ONCE per neovim session. In a
"little while" we will remove them completely.
- `vim.lsp.callbacks` has moved to `vim.lsp.handlers`.
- For a "little while" we will just redirect `vim.lsp.callbacks` to
`vim.lsp.handlers`. However, we will remove this at some point, so
it is recommended that you change all of your references to
`callbacks` into `handlers`.
- This also means that for functions like |vim.lsp.start_client()|
and similar, keyword style arguments have moved from "callbacks"
to "handlers". Once again, these are currently being forward, but
will cease to be forwarded in a "little while".
- Changed the highlight groups for LspDiagnostic highlight as they were
inconsistently named.
- For more information, see |lsp-highlight-diagnostics|
- Changed the sign group names as well, to be consistent with
|lsp-highlight-diagnostics|
General Enhancements:
- Rewrote much of the getting started help document for lsp. It also
provides a much nicer configuration strategy, so as to not recommend
globally overwriting builtin neovim mappings.
LSP Enhancements:
- Introduced the concept of |lsp-handlers| which will allow much better
customization for users without having to copy & paste entire files /
functions / etc.
Diagnostic Enhancements:
- "goto next diagnostic" |vim.lsp.diagnostic.goto_next()|
- "goto prev diagnostic" |vim.lsp.diagnostic.goto_prev()|
- For each of the gotos, auto open diagnostics is available as a
configuration option
- Configurable diagnostic handling:
- See |vim.lsp.diagnostic.on_publish_diagnostics()|
- Delay display until after insert mode
- Configure signs
- Configure virtual text
- Configure underline
- Set the location list with the buffers diagnostics.
- See |vim.lsp.diagnostic.set_loclist()|
- Better performance for getting counts and line diagnostics
- They are now cached on save, to enhance lookups.
- Particularly useful for checking in statusline, etc.
- Actual testing :)
- See ./test/functional/plugin/lsp/diagnostic_spec.lua
- Added `guisp` for underline highlighting
NOTE: "a little while" means enough time to feel like most plugins and
plugin authors have had a chance to refactor their code to use the
updated calls. Then we will remove them completely. There is no need to
keep them, because we don't have any released version of neovim that
exposes these APIs. I'm trying to be nice to people following HEAD :)

- The previous commit lost information in the tests. Instead, add some
more "normalization" substitutions in pcall_err(), so that the general
shape of the stacktrace is included in the asserted text.
- Eliminate contains(), it is redundant with matches()
- 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...).
* Fix some small doc issues
* doc: fixup
* doc: fixup
* Fix lint and rebase
* Remove bad advice
* Ugh, stupid mpack files...
* Don't let people include these for now until they specifically want to
* Prevent duplicate tag
This makes it possible to restore the working directory of :terminal
buffers when reading those buffers from a session file.

- 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.
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.
