-------------------- Known bugs and current work -----------------------
Vim9 - Make everything work:
- Compile builtin functions that access local variables:
islocked()
- When evaluating constants for script variables, some functions could work:
has('asdf'), len('string')
eval_variable(). Should pass the ".xxx" that follows and return that.
- Make "++nr" work. "++g:count" doesn't work, thinks it is a range.
- Reload: How to make sure type of script function hasn't changed?
- expandcmd() with `=expr` in filename uses legacy expression.
- eval_expr() in ex_cexpr()
- eval_expr() call in dbg_parsearg() and debuggy_find()
@ -64,6 +57,17 @@ Vim9 - Make everything work:
the type of the list or dict member. (#8092)
- Allow for using an autoload function name without quotes. It is then loaded
(and compiled) right away. #8124
- Test more expressions in legacy and Vim9 script, using
CheckLegacyAndVim9Success()
- Test try/catch and throw better, also nested.
Test that return inside try/finally jumps to finally and then returns.
- Test that a function defined inside a :def function is local to that
function, g: functions can be defined and script-local functions cannot be
defined.
- Make debugging work - at least per function. Need to recompile a function
to step through it line-by-line? Evaluate the stack and variables on the
stack?
- Reserve command for future use: :type, :class, :enum
Once Vim9 is stable:
- Change the help to prefer Vim9 syntax where appropriate

Also for Vim9:
Further Vim9 improvements, possibly after launch:
- better implementation for partial and tests for that.
- Make "g:imported = Export.exported" work in Vim9 script.
- Make Foo.Bar() work to call the dict function. (#5676)
- Error in any command in "vim9script" aborts sourcing.
- Find a way to test expressions in legacy and Vim9 script without duplication
- Test try/catch and throw better, also nested.
Test that return inside try/finally jumps to finally and then returns.
- Test that a function defined inside a :def function is local to that
function, g: functions can be defined and script-local functions cannot be
defined.
- compile options that are an expression, e.g. "expr:" in 'spellsuggest',
- Compile options that are an expression, e.g. "expr:" in 'spellsuggest',
'foldexpr', 'foldtext', 'printexpr', 'diffexpr', 'patchexpr', 'charconvert',
'balloonexpr', 'includeexpr', 'indentexpr', 'formatexpr'.
Give an error if compilation fails. (#7625)
Use the location where the option was set for deciding whether it's to be
evaluated in Vim9 script context.
- implement :type; import type declaration.
- implement enum; import enum.
- implement :type, import type declaration.

- Future work: See |vim9-classes|
Define the keywords and commands to make sure it will be backwards
compatible.
- Make debugging work - at least per function. Need to recompile a function
to step through it line-by-line? Evaluate the stack and variables on the
stack?
- List commands when 'verbose' is set or :verbose is used.
Further Vim9 improvements, possibly after launch:
- For range: make table of first ASCII character with flag to quickly check if
it can be a Vim9 command. E.g. "+" can, but "." can't.
- compile get_lambda_tv() in popup_add_timeout()

- Implement as part of an expression: ++expr, --expr, expr++, expr--.

When repeating the 'confirm' dialog one needs to press Enter. (ds26gte, 2016

exists(":tearoff") does not tell you if the command is implemented. (Tony
