Problem: hard to view an existing buffer in the preview window
Solution: add the :pbuffer command (Yinzuo Jiang)
Similar as `:pedit` and `:buffer` command. `:pbuffer` edits buffer [N]
from the buffer list in the preview window.
`:pbuffer` can also open special buffer, for example terminal buffer.

Problem: statusline may look different than expected
Solution: do not check for highlighting of stl and stlnc characters
statusline fillchar may be different than expected
If the highlighting group for the statusline for the current window
|hl-StatusLine| or the non-current window |hl-StatusLineNC| are cleared
(or do not differ from each other), than Vim will use the hard-coded
fallback values '^' (for the non-current windows) or '=' (for the
current window). I believe this was done, to make sure the statusline
will always be visible and be distinguishable from the rest of the
window.
However, this may be unexpected, if a user explicitly defined those
fillchar characters just to notice that those values are then not used
by Vim.
So, let's assume users know what they are doing and just always return
the configured stl and stlnc values. And if they want the statusline to
be non-distinguishable from the rest of the window space, so be it. It
is their responsibility and Vim shall not know better what to use.

Problem: 'statusline' only supports one "%=" item.
Solution: Add support for multiple "%=" items. (TJ DeVries, Yegappan
Lakshmanan, closes#11970, closes#11965)
Problem: Status line is not updated when going to cmdline mode.
Solution: Redraw status lines if 'statusline' is set and going to status
line mode. (based on patch from Justin M. Keyes et al.,
closes#8044)
Problem: 'fillchars' "stl" and "stlnc" items must be single byte.
Solution: Accept multi-byte characters. (Christian Wellenbrock, Yegappan
Lakshmanan, closes#7927)
Problem: Tests using term_wait() can still be flaky.
Solution: Increase the wait time when rerunning a test. (James McCoy,
closes#5899) Halve the initial times to make tests run faster
when there is no rerun.
Problem: When evaluating 'statusline' the current window is unknown.
(Daniel Hahler)
Solution: Set "g:actual_curwin" for %{} items. Set "g:statusline_winid"
when evaluationg %!. (closes#4406, closes#3299)
Problem: 'statusline' drops empty group with highlight change.
Solution: Do not drop an empty group if it changes highlighting. (Marius
Gedminas, closes#2228)
Problem: The new regexp engine does not give an error for using a back
reference where it is not allowed. (Dominique Pelle)
Solution: Check the back reference like the old engine. (closes#1774)
Problem: When using try/catch in 'statusline' it is still considered an
error and the status line will be disabled.
Solution: Check did_emsg instead of called_emsg. (haya14busa, closes#729)
