Problem: Cannot use a window ID where a window number is expected.
Solution: Add LOWEST_WIN_ID, so that the window ID can be used where a
number is expected.
Problem: When a channel writes to a buffer it doesn't find a buffer by the
short name but re-uses it anyway.
Solution: Find buffer also by the short name.
Problem: Cannot detect a crash in tests when caused by garbagecollect().
Solution: Add garbagecollect_for_testing(). Do not free a job if is still
useful.
Problem: The versplit feature makes the code uneccessary complicated.
Solution: Remove FEAT_VERTSPLIT, always support vertical splits when
FEAT_WINDOWS is defined.
Problem: The Sniff interface is no longer useful, the tool has not been
available for may years.
Solution: Delete the Sniff interface and related code.
Problem: The socket I/O is intertwined with the netbeans code.
Solution: Start refactoring the netbeans communication to split off the
socket I/O. Add the +channel feature.
Problem: Still using old style C function declarations.
Solution: Always define __ARGS() to include types. Turn a few functions
into ANSI style to find out if this causes problems for anyone.
Problem: CTRL-A and CTRL-X do not work properly with blockwise visual
selection if there is a mix of Tab and spaces.
Solution: Add OP_NR_ADD and OP_NR_SUB. (Hirohito Higashi)
Problem: Alloc_id depends on numbers, may use the same one twice. It's not
clear from the number what it's for.
Solution: Use an enum. Add a function to lookup the enum value from the
name.
Problem: searchpos() always starts searching in the first column, which is
not what some people expect. (Brett Stahlman)
Solution: Add the 'z' flag: start at the specified column.
Problem: Writing tests for Vim script is hard.
Solution: Add assertEqual(), assertFalse() and assertTrue() functions. Add
the v:errors variable. Add the runtest script. Add a first new
style test script.
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: When completing a shell command, directories in the current
directory are not listed.
Solution: When "." is not in $PATH also look in the current directory for
directories.
Problem: glob() and globpath() cannot include links to non-existing files.
(Charles Campbell)
Solution: Add an argument to include all links with glob(). (James McCoy)
Also for globpath().
Problem: Crash when searching for "x\{0,90000}". (Dominique Pelle)
Solution: Bail out from the NFA engine when the max limit is much higher
than the min limit.
Problem: Using a range for window and buffer commands has a few problems.
Cannot specify the type of range for a user command.
Solution: Add the -addr argument for user commands. Fix problems. (Marcin
