docs(lua): more improvements (#24387)
* docs(lua): teach lua2dox how to table

* docs(lua): teach gen_vimdoc.py about local functions

No more need to mark local functions with @private

* docs(lua): mention @nodoc and @meta in dev-lua-doc

* fixup!

---@defgroup lua-vimscript
---
---@brief Nvim Lua provides an interface or "bridge" to Vimscript variables and
---functions, and editor commands and options.
---
---Objects passed over this bridge are COPIED (marshalled): there are no
---"references". |lua-guide-variables| For example, using \`vim.fn.remove()\` on
---a Lua list copies the list object to Vimscript and does NOT modify the Lua
---list:
---<pre>lua
--- local list = { 1, 2, 3 }
--- vim.fn.remove(list, 0)
--- vim.print(list) --> "{ 1, 2, 3 }"
---</pre>
---@addtogroup lua-vimscript
---@brief <pre>help
---vim.call({func}, {...}) *vim.call()*
--- Invokes |vim-function| or |user-function| {func} with arguments {...}.
--- See also |vim.fn|.
--- Equivalent to: >lua
--- vim.fn[func]({...})
---<
---vim.cmd({command})
--- See |vim.cmd()|.
---
---vim.fn.{func}({...}) *vim.fn*
--- Invokes |vim-function| or |user-function| {func} with arguments {...}.
--- To call autoload functions, use the syntax: >lua
--- vim.fn['some\#function']({...})
---<
--- Unlike vim.api.|nvim_call_function()| this converts directly between Vim
--- objects and Lua objects. If the Vim function returns a float, it will be
--- represented directly as a Lua number. Empty lists and dictionaries both
--- are represented by an empty table.
---
--- Note: |v:null| values as part of the return value is represented as
--- |vim.NIL| special value
---
--- Note: vim.fn keys are generated lazily, thus `pairs(vim.fn)` only
--- enumerates functions that were called at least once.
---
--- Note: The majority of functions cannot run in |api-fast| callbacks with some
--- undocumented exceptions which are allowed.
---
--- *lua-vim-variables*
---The Vim editor global dictionaries |g:| |w:| |b:| |t:| |v:| can be accessed
---from Lua conveniently and idiomatically by referencing the `vim.*` Lua tables
---described below. In this way you can easily read and modify global Vimscript
---variables from Lua.
---
---Example: >lua
---
--- vim.g.foo = 5 -- Set the g:foo Vimscript variable.
--- print(vim.g.foo) -- Get and print the g:foo Vimscript variable.
--- vim.g.foo = nil -- Delete (:unlet) the Vimscript variable.
--- vim.b[2].foo = 6 -- Set b:foo for buffer 2
---<
---
---Note that setting dictionary fields directly will not write them back into
---Nvim. This is because the index into the namespace simply returns a copy.
---Instead the whole dictionary must be written as one. This can be achieved by
---creating a short-lived temporary.
---
---Example: >lua
---
--- vim.g.my_dict.field1 = 'value' -- Does not work
---
--- local my_dict = vim.g.my_dict --
--- my_dict.field1 = 'value' -- Instead do
--- vim.g.my_dict = my_dict --
---
---vim.g *vim.g*
--- Global (|g:|) editor variables.
--- Key with no value returns `nil`.
---
---vim.b *vim.b*
--- Buffer-scoped (|b:|) variables for the current buffer.
--- Invalid or unset key returns `nil`. Can be indexed with
--- an integer to access variables for a specific buffer.
---
---vim.w *vim.w*
--- Window-scoped (|w:|) variables for the current window.
--- Invalid or unset key returns `nil`. Can be indexed with
--- an integer to access variables for a specific window.
---
---vim.t *vim.t*
--- Tabpage-scoped (|t:|) variables for the current tabpage.
--- Invalid or unset key returns `nil`. Can be indexed with
--- an integer to access variables for a specific tabpage.
---
---vim.v *vim.v*
--- |v:| variables.
--- Invalid or unset key returns `nil`.

---` ` *lua-options*
--- *lua-vim-options*
--- *lua-vim-set*
--- *lua-vim-setlocal*
---
---Vim options can be accessed through |vim.o|, which behaves like Vimscript
---|:set|.
---
--- Examples: ~
---
--- To set a boolean toggle:
--- Vimscript: `set number`
--- Lua: `vim.o.number = true`
---
--- To set a string value:
--- Vimscript: `set wildignore=*.o,*.a,__pycache__`
--- Lua: `vim.o.wildignore = '*.o,*.a,__pycache__'`
---
---Similarly, there is |vim.bo| and |vim.wo| for setting buffer-scoped and
---window-scoped options. Note that this must NOT be confused with
---|local-options| and |:setlocal|. There is also |vim.go| that only accesses the
---global value of a |global-local| option, see |:setglobal|.
---</pre>
---Get or set |options|. Like `:set`. Invalid key is an error.
---
---Note: this works on both buffer-scoped and window-scoped options using the
---current buffer and window.
---
---Example: <pre>lua
--- vim.o.cmdheight = 4
--- print(vim.o.columns)
--- print(vim.o.foo) -- error: invalid key
---</pre>
vim.o = setmetatable({}, {
__index = function(_, k)
return api.nvim_get_option_value(k, {})
end,
__newindex = function(_, k, v)
return api.nvim_set_option_value(k, v, {})
end,
})
---Get or set global |options|. Like `:setglobal`. Invalid key is
---an error.
---
---Note: this is different from |vim.o| because this accesses the global
---option value and thus is mostly useful for use with |global-local|
---options.
---
---Example: <pre>lua
--- vim.go.cmdheight = 4
--- print(vim.go.columns)
--- print(vim.go.bar) -- error: invalid key
---</pre>
vim.go = setmetatable({}, {
__index = function(_, k)
return api.nvim_get_option_value(k, { scope = 'global' })
end,
__newindex = function(_, k, v)
return api.nvim_set_option_value(k, v, { scope = 'global' })
end,
})
---Get or set buffer-scoped |options| for the buffer with number {bufnr}.
---Like `:set` and `:setlocal`. If [{bufnr}] is omitted then the current
---buffer is used. Invalid {bufnr} or key is an error.
---
---Note: this is equivalent to both `:set` and `:setlocal`.
---
---Example: <pre>lua
--- local bufnr = vim.api.nvim_get_current_buf()
--- vim.bo[bufnr].buflisted = true -- same as vim.bo.buflisted = true
--- print(vim.bo.comments)
--- print(vim.bo.baz) -- error: invalid key
---</pre>
---@param bufnr integer|nil
vim.bo = new_buf_opt_accessor()
---Get or set window-scoped |options| for the window with handle {winid} and
---buffer with number {bufnr}. Like `:setlocal` if {bufnr} is provided, like
---`:set` otherwise. If [{winid}] is omitted then the current window is
---used. Invalid {winid}, {bufnr} or key is an error.
---
---Note: only {bufnr} with value `0` (the current buffer in the window) is
---supported.
---
---Example: <pre>lua
--- local winid = vim.api.nvim_get_current_win()
--- vim.wo[winid].number = true -- same as vim.wo.number = true
--- print(vim.wo.foldmarker)
--- print(vim.wo.quux) -- error: invalid key

---
---A special interface |vim.opt| exists for conveniently interacting with list-

---
--- Examples: ~
