#
# Server that will accept connections from a Vim channel.
# Run this server and then in Vim you can open the channel:
#  :let handle = ch_open('localhost:8765')
#
# Then Vim can send requests to the server:
#  :let response = ch_sendexpr(handle, 'hello!')
#
# And you can control Vim by typing a JSON message here, e.g.:
#   ["ex","echo 'hi there'"]
#
# There is no prompt, just type a line and press Enter.
# To exit cleanly type "quit<Enter>".
#
# See ":help channel-demo" in Vim.
#
# This requires Python 2.6 or later.
