Problem: Code for MS-Windows is complicated because of the exceptions for
old systems.
Solution: Drop support for MS-Windows older than Windows XP. (Ken Takata)
Problem: Cannot get the number of the current quickfix or location list.
Solution: Use the current list if "nr" in "what" is zero. (Yegappan
Lakshmanan) Remove debug command from test.
Problem: Can't tell which part of a channel has "buffered" status.
Solution: Add an optional argument to ch_status(). Let ch_info() also
return "buffered" for out_status and err_status.
Problem: The "Reading from channel output..." message can be unwanted.
Appending to a buffer leaves an empty first line behind.
Solution: Add the "out_msg" and "err_msg" options. Writing the first line
overwrites the first, empty line.
Problem: No way for a system wide vimrc to stop loading defaults.vim.
(Christian Hesse)
Solution: Bail out of defaults.vim if skip_defaults_vim was set.
Problem: getwininfo() and getbufinfo() are inefficient.
Solution: Do not make a copy of all window/buffer-local options. Make it
possible to get them with gettabwinvar() or getbufvar().
Problem: Adding pattern to ":oldfiles" is not a generic solution.
Solution: Add the ":filter /pat/ cmd" command modifier. Only works for some
commands right now.
Problem: The 'langnoremap' option leads to double negatives. And it does
not work for the last character of a mapping.
Solution: Add 'langremap' with the opposite value. Keep 'langnoremap' for
backwards compatibility. Make it work for the last character of a
mapping. Make the test work.
Problem: There is no equivalent of 'smartcase' for a tag search.
Solution: Add value "followscs" and "smart" to 'tagcase'. (Christian
Brabandt, closes#712) Turn tagcase test into new style.
Problem: The field names used by getbufinfo(), gettabinfo() and
getwininfo() are not consistent.
Solution: Use bufnr, winnr and tabnr. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
Problem: It's not easy to find out if a window is a quickfix or location
list window.
Solution: Add "loclist" and "quickfix" entries to the dict returnec by
getwininfo(). (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
Problem: It is not easy to get information about buffers, windows and
tabpages.
Solution: Add getbufinfo(), getwininfo() and gettabinfo(). (Yegappan
Lakshmanan)
