"umask" is pronounce like "youmask", so having an "an" before it is a
bit strange. In other places in the help, "umask" is not preceded by
either "a" or "an", and sometimes preceded by "the".
Also, "Note" is usually followed either by ":" or "that" in builtin.txt,
so add a ":" after "Note".

Problem:
"make lintdoc" is not validating vimdoc (:help) tags.
Solution:
- Call `lang_tree:parse()` to init the parser.
- Load netrw 🤢 explicitly, since it was moved to `pack/dist/opt/`.
- Fix invalid help tags.
Problem: command-line auto-completion hard with wildmenu
Solution: implement "noselect" wildoption value (Girish Palya)
When `noselect` is present in `wildmode` and 'wildmenu' is enabled, the
completion menu appears without pre-selecting the first item.
This change makes it easier to implement command-line auto-completion,
where the menu dynamically appears as characters are typed, and `<Tab>`
can be used to manually select an item. This can be achieved by
leveraging the `CmdlineChanged` event to insert `wildchar(m)`,
triggering completion menu.
Without this change, auto-completion using the 'wildmenu' mechanism is
not feasible, as it automatically inserts the first match, preventing
dynamic selection.
The following Vimscript snippet demonstrates how to configure
auto-completion using `noselect`:
```vim
vim9script
set wim=noselect:lastused,full wop=pum wcm=<C-@> wmnu
autocmd CmdlineChanged : timer_start(0, function(CmdComplete, [getcmdline()]))
def CmdComplete(cur_cmdline: string, timer: number)
var [cmdline, curpos] = [getcmdline(), getcmdpos()]
if cur_cmdline ==# cmdline # Avoid completing each character in keymaps and pasted text
&& !pumvisible() && curpos == cmdline->len() + 1
if cmdline[curpos - 2] =~ '[\w*/:]' # Reduce noise by completing only selected characters
feedkeys("\<C-@>", "ti")
set eventignore+=CmdlineChanged # Suppress redundant completion attempts
timer_start(0, (_) => {
getcmdline()->substitute('\%x00$', '', '')->setcmdline() # Remove <C-@> if no completion items exist
set eventignore-=CmdlineChanged
})
endif
endif
enddef
```

Problem: preinsert requires bot "menu" and "menuone" to be set,
but "menu" is redundant (after v9.1.1160)
Solution: preinsert only requires menuone (glepnir)

Problem: The 'preinsert' feature requires Ctrl-Y to confirm insertion,
but Ctrl-Y only works when the popup menu (pum) is displayed.
Without enforcing this dependency, it could lead to confusing
behavior or non-functional features.
Solution: Modify ins_compl_has_preinsert() to check for both 'menu' and
'menuone' flags when 'preinsert' is set. Update documentation
to clarify this requirement. This avoids adding complex
conditional behaviors. (glepnir)

Problem:
Descriptions are somewhat vague. nvim_set_current_line modifies contents
but nvim_set_current_buf does not, etc.
Solution:
- Make it clear that these functions accept or return a winid/tabid by
linking to that concept in help.
- Only these few files use the term "handles", so replace them with the
more conventional terminology.
- Add a new help section for tab-ID. This concept is unique to neovim
because vim exposes tabnr, but not tab handles. This section is
modelled after `:h winid`.
TSHighlighter now places marks for conceal_lines metadata. A new
internal decor provider callback _on_conceal_line was added that
instructs the highlighter to place conceal_lines marks whenever the
editor needs to know whether a line is concealed. The bundled markdown
queries use conceal_lines metadata to conceal code block fence lines.
vim-patch:partial:9.1.1084: Unable to persistently ignore events in a window and its buffers
Problem: Unable to persistently ignore events in a window and its buffers.
Solution: Add 'eventignorewin' option to ignore events in a window and buffer
(Luuk van Baal)
Add the window-local 'eventignorewin' option that is analogous to
'eventignore', but applies to a certain window and its buffers. Identify
events that should be allowed in 'eventignorewin', adapt "auto_event"
and "event_tab" to encode this information. Window context is not passed
onto apply_autocmds_group(), and when to ignore an event is a bit
ambiguous when "buf" is not "curbuf", rather than a large refactor, only
ignore an event when all windows into "buf" are ignoring the event.

Problem: has('bsd') is true for GNU/Hurd
Solution: exclude GNU/Hurd from BSD feature flag
(Zhaoming Luo)
GNU/Hurd, like Mac OS X, is a BSD-based system. It should exclude
has('bsd') feature just like what Mac OS X does. The __GNU__ pre-defined
macro indicates it's compiled for GNU/Hurd.

Problem: Right aligned virtual text can cover up buffer text if virtual
text is too long
Solution: An additional option for `virt_text_pos` called
`eol_right_align` has been added to truncate virtual text if it would
have otherwise covered up buffer text. This ensures the virtual text
extends no further left than EOL.
Problem: Combined highlighting was not applied to nvim_eval_statusline(),
and 'statuscolumn' sign segment/numhl highlights.
Solution: Add an additional `groups` element to the return value of
`nvim_eval_statusline()->highlights`. This is an array of stacked
highlight groups (highest priority last). Also resolve combined
highlights for the 'statuscolumn' sign segment/numhl highlights.
Expose/synchronize some drawline.c logic that is now mimicked in
three different places.
This has been possible in the "backend" for a while but
API was missing.
Followup: we will need a `details2=true` mode for `nvim_get_hl_id_by_name`
to return information in a way forward compatible with even further
enhancements.
This was kept for a while as it was a useful short hand and initially
matched what highlights what actually properly implemented. But now
|vim.hl.range()| is a better high-level shorthand with full support for
native multi-line ranges.

* refactor(options): generic expand and did_set callbacks
Problem:
Many options have similar callbacks to check the values are valid.
Solution:
Generalize these callbacks into a single function that reads the option
table.
* refactor: gen_options.lua
refactor: gen_options.lua - inline get_cond
* refactor(options): use a simpler format for the common default
Problem: Anchoring a floating window to the tabline and laststatus is
cumbersome; requiring autocommands and looping over all
windows/tabpages.
Solution: Add new "tabline" and "laststatus" options to the `relative`
field of nvim_open_win() to place a window relative to.
Problem:
Whether an option is allowed to be empty isn't well defined and
isn't properly checked.
Solution:
- For non-list string options, explicitly check the option value
if it is empty.
- Annotate non-list string options that can accept an empty value.
- Adjust command completion to ignore the empty value.
- Render values in Lua meta files
**Problem:** Parsing can be slow for large files, and it is a blocking
operation which can be disruptive and annoying.
**Solution:** Provide a function for asynchronous parsing, which accepts
a callback to be run after parsing completes.

Problem:
The `nvim_notify` API (note: unrelated to `vim.notify()` Lua API) was
not given any real motivation in https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/13843
There are, and were, idiomatic and ergonomic alternatives already.
Solution:
Deprecate `nvim_notify`.
Problem: We want to deprecate `nvim_err_write(ln)()` but there is no
obvious replacement (from Lua). Meanwhile we already have
`nvim_echo()` with an `opts` argument.
Solution: Add `err` argument to `nvim_echo()` that directly maps to
`:echoerr`.
