Problem: When using the CompleteDone autocommand event it's difficult to
get to the completed items.
Solution: Add the v:completed_items variable. (Shougo Matsu)
Problem: Value of v:hlsearch reflects an internal variable.
Solution: Make the value reflect whether search highlighting is actually
displayed. (Christian Brabandt)
Problem: gettabvar() is not consistent with getwinvar() and getbufvar().

(Yasuhiro Matsumoto)
Problem: When an InsertCharPre autocommand executes system() typeahead may
be echoed and messes up the display. (Jacob Niehus)

Problem: Text drawing on newer MS-Windows systems is suboptimal. Some
multi-byte characters are not displayed, even though the same font
in Notepad can display them. (Srinath Avadhanula)
Solution: Add the 'renderoptions' option to enable Direct-X drawing. (Taro
Muraoka)
Problem: Cannot wrap lines taking indent into account.
Solution: Add the 'breakindent' option. (many authors, final improvements by
Christian Brabandt)

slow.
Solution: Add matchaddpos() to highlight specific positions efficiently.
(Alexey Radkov)
Problem: globpath() returns a string, making it difficult to get a list of
matches. (Greg Novack)
Solution: Add an optional argument like with glob(). (Adnan Zafar)
Problem: When passing input to system() there is no way to keep NUL and
NL characters separate.
Solution: Optionally use a list for the system() input. (ZyX)
Problem: getreg() does not distinguish between a NL used for a line break
and a NL used for a NUL character.
Solution: Add another argument to return a list. (ZyX)
Problem: The string returned by submatch() does not distinguish between a
NL from a line break and a NL that stands for a NUL character.
Solution: Add a second argument to return a list. (ZyX)
