The first argument which is non-nil is returned. This is useful when
using nested default values (e.g. in the EditorConfig plugin).
Before:
local enable = vim.F.if_nil(vim.b.editorconfig, vim.F.if_nil(vim.g.editorconfig, true))
After:
local enable = vim.F.if_nil(vim.b.editorconfig, vim.g.editorconfig, true)
Problem:
Codebase inconsistently binds vim.api onto a or api.
Solution:
Use api everywhere. a as an identifier is too short to have at the
module level.
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:
vim.deprecate() shows ":help deprecated" for third-party plugins. ":help
deprecated" only describes deprecations in Nvim, and is unrelated to any
3rd party deprecations.
Solution:
If `plugin` is specified, don't show ":help deprecated".
fix#22235
Problem:
The function name `vim.pretty_print`:
1. is verbose, which partially defeats its purpose as sugar
2. does not draw from existing precedent or any sort of convention
(except external projects like penlight or python?), which reduces
discoverability, and degrades signaling about best practices.
Solution:
- Rename to `vim.print`.
- Change the behavior so that
1. strings are printed without quotes
2. each arg is printed on its own line
3. tables are indented with 2 instead of 4 spaces
- Example:
:lua ='a', 'b', 42, {a=3}
a
b
42
{
a = 3
}
Comparison of alternatives:
- `vim.print`:
- pro: consistent with Lua's `print()`
- pro: aligns with potential `nvim_print` API function which will
replace nvim_echo, nvim_notify, etc.
- con: behaves differently than Lua's `print()`, slightly misleading?
- `vim.echo`:
- pro: `:echo` has similar "pretty print" behavior.
- con: inconsistent with Lua idioms.
- `vim.p`:
- pro: very short, fits with `vim.o`, etc.
- con: not as discoverable as "echo"
- con: less opportunity for `local p = vim.p` because of potential shadowing.
also make implicit submodules "uri" and "_inspector" work with completion
this is needed for `:lua=vim.uri_<tab>` wildmenu completion
to work even before uri or _inspector functions are used.
Problem:
- API validation involves too much boilerplate.
- API validation errors are not consistently worded.
Solution:
Introduce some macros. Currently these are clumsy, but they at least
help with consistency and avoid some nesting.
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.

E970: Failed to initialize builtin lua modules
Solution:
- Log to a private $NVIM_LOG_FILE in tests that intentionally fail and
cause ERR log messages.
- Assert that the expected messages are actually logged.
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.

BREAKING CHANGE: When using a Funcref converted from a Lua function as
a method in Vim script, the result of the base expression is now passed
as the first argument instead of being ignored.
vim-patch:8.2.5117: crash when calling a Lua callback from a :def function

global-local window options need to be handled specially. When `win` is
given but `scope` is not, then we want to set the local version of the
option but not the global one, therefore we need to force
`scope='local'`.
Note this does not apply to window-local only options (e.g. 'number')
Example:
nvim_set_option_value('scrolloff', 10, {}) -- global-local window option; set global value
nvim_set_option_value('scrolloff', 20, {win=0}) -- global-local window option; set local value
nvim_set_option_value('number', true, {}) -- local window option
is now equivalent to:
nvim_set_option_value('scrolloff', 10, {})
nvim_set_option_value('scrolloff', 20, {win=0, scope='local'}) -- changed from before
nvim_set_option_value('number', true, {win=0}) -- unchanged from before
Only the global-local option with a `win` provided gets forced to local
scope.
`nvim_get_option_value` and `nvim_set_option_value` better handle
unsetting local options. For instance, this is currently not possible:
vim.bo.tagfunc = nil
This does not work because 'tagfunc' is marked as "local to buffer" and
does not have a fallback global option. However, using :setlocal *does*
work as expected
:setlocal tagfunc=
`nvim_set_option_value` behaves more like :set and :setlocal (by
design), so using these as the underlying API functions beneath vim.bo
and vim.wo makes those two tables act more like :setlocal. Note that
vim.o *already* uses `nvim_set_option_value` under the hood, so that
vim.o behaves like :set.
`vim.keymap.del` takes an `opts` parameter that lets caller refer to and
delete buffer-local mappings. For some reason the implementation of
`vim.keymap.del` mutates the table that is passed in, setting
`opts.buffer` to `nil`. This is wrong and also undocumented.
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.
