Problem: It was decided on Matrix chat that multitype options won't be necessary for Neovim options, and that options should only have a single canonical type. Therefore the code for supporting multitype options is unnecessary.
Solution: Remove the additional code that's used to provide multitype option support.
**Problem:** The treesitter `foldexpr` runs synchronous parses to
calculate fold levels, which eliminates async parsing performance in the
highlighter.
**Solution:** Migrate the `foldexpr` to also calculate and apply fold
levels asynchronously.
Problem:
The floating window for hover and signature help always cuts off a few lines,
because the `_make_floating_popup_size` function counts empty lines as having
zero height.
Solution:
Ensure the height is at least 1.
Problem:
Whether an option is allowed to be empty isn't well defined and
isn't properly checked.
Solution:
- For non-list string options, explicitly check the option value
if it is empty.
- Annotate non-list string options that can accept an empty value.
- Adjust command completion to ignore the empty value.
- Render values in Lua meta files
Problem: Popup menu internal error with some abbr in completion item.
Solution: Don't compute attributes when there is no corresponding text.
Reduce indent in pum_redraw() while at it (zeertzjq).

**Problem:** `vim.treesitter.get_parser()` and `vim.treesitter.start()`
both parse the tree before returning it. This is problematic because if
this is a sync parse, it will stall the editor on large files. If it is
an async parse, the functions return stale trees.
**Solution:** Remove this parsing side effect and leave it to the user
to parse the returned trees, either synchronously or asynchronously.
**Problem:** Parsing can be slow for large files, and it is a blocking
operation which can be disruptive and annoying.
**Solution:** Provide a function for asynchronous parsing, which accepts
a callback to be run after parsing completes.

**Problem:** Query parsing uses a weak cache which is invalidated
frequently
**Solution:** Make the cache strong, and invalidate it manually when
necessary (that is, when `rtp` is changed or `query.set()` is called)

Problem: filetype: various ignore are not recognized
Solution: detect rg/docker/npm/vvsce ignore files as 'gitgnore' filetype
(Wu, Zhenyu)
Not only prettier, but many programs also support ignore files (like rg,
docker, npm, vscode). So use the gitignore filetype for them due to same syntax

Problem: [security]: heap-buffer-overflow with visual mode when

BREAKING CHANGE: This changes the list of diagnostics that are passed to
a diagnostic handler. If a handler is already filtering by severity
itself then this won't break anything, since the handler's filtering
will become a no-op. But handlers which depend on receiving the full
list of diagnostics may break.
Note that diagnostics are only filtered if the handler's configuration
has the `severity` option set. If `severity` is not set, the handler
still receives the full list of diagnostics.
Problem: ComplMatchIns highlight hard to read on light background

Problem: Assert hit related to message kind, which is reset after a
ext_messages UI is forcibly detached, so the assertion is
expectedly false. Assert hit related to message grid variables
after an ext_messages UI attaches while message grid is scrolled.
Solution: Don't check message kind assertion if no ext_messages UI is
attached. Flush message grid when first/last ext_messages UI
attaches/detaches.
Problem:
The `nvim_notify` API (note: unrelated to `vim.notify()` Lua API) was
not given any real motivation in https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/13843
There are, and were, idiomatic and ergonomic alternatives already.
Solution:
Deprecate `nvim_notify`.
Problem: tests: ruby tests fail with Ruby 3.4
Solution: adjust expected output for Ruby 3.4
(Yee Cheng Chin)
Vim's Ruby tests relied on explicit matching of output texts which are
fragile in design. Ruby 3.4 has changed the output slightly (using
'name' instead of `name', and also using more spaces in dictionary
printouts). Modify the Vim tests to be less fragile to such changes.

Problem: leaking finished exception
(after v9.1.0984)
Solution: use finish_exception to clean up caught exceptions
(Yee Cheng Chin)
In Vimscript, v:exception/throwpoint/stacktrace are supposed to reflect
the currently caught exception, and be popped after the exception is
finished (via endtry, finally, or a thrown exception inside catch).
Vim9script does not handle this properly, and leaks them instead. This
is clearly visible when launching GVim with menu enabled. A caught
exception inside the s:BMShow() in menu.vim would show up when querying
`v:stacktrace` even though the exception was already caught and handled.
To fix this, just use the same functionality as Vimscript by calling
`finish_exception` to properly restore the states. Note that this
assumes `current_exception` is always the same as `caught_stack` which
believe should be the case.
Added tests for this. Also fix up test_stacktrace to properly test the
stack restore behavior where we have nested exceptions in catch blocks
and to also test the vim9script functionality properly.
- Also, remove its dependency on explicitly checking a line number in
runtest.vim which is a very fragile way to write tests as any minor
change in runtest.vim (shared among all tests) would require changing
test_stacktrace.vim. We don't actually need such granularity in the
test.

Problem:
Deprecated API `nvim_get_option()` doesn't validate the option name,
which leads to an assertion failure.
Solution:
Validate option name in `nvim_get_option()`.
Ref: #31894
Problem: We want to deprecate `nvim_err_write(ln)()` but there is no
obvious replacement (from Lua). Meanwhile we already have
`nvim_echo()` with an `opts` argument.
Solution: Add `err` argument to `nvim_echo()` that directly maps to
`:echoerr`.
If a "on_lines" callback changes the structure of the marktree, the
iterator (which is used for an entire window viewport) might now
point to invalid memory. Restore the iterator to the beginning of the
line in this case.
