Problem: completion: not possible to delay the autcompletion
Solution: add the 'autocompletedelay' option value (Girish Palya).
This patch introduces a new global option 'autocompletedelay'/'acl' that
specifies the delay, in milliseconds, before the autocomplete menu
appears after typing.
When set to a non-zero value, Vim waits for the specified time before
showing the completion popup, allowing users to reduce distraction from
rapid suggestion pop-ups or to fine-tune the responsiveness of
completion.
The default value is 0, which preserves the current immediate-popup
behavior.

This group is named "pythonClassVar" to match the name used by

Problem: fuzzy-matching can be improved
Solution: Implement a better fuzzy matching algorithm
(Girish Palya)
Replace fuzzy matching algorithm with improved fzy-based implementation
The
[current](https://www.forrestthewoods.com/blog/reverse_engineering_sublime_texts_fuzzy_match/)
fuzzy matching algorithm has several accuracy issues:
* It struggles with CamelCase
* It fails to prioritize matches at the beginning of strings, often
ranking middle matches higher.
After evaluating alternatives (see my comments
[here](https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/17531#issuecomment-3112046897)
and
[here](https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/17531#issuecomment-3121593900)),
I chose to adopt the [fzy](https://github.com/jhawthorn/fzy) algorithm,
which:
* Resolves the aforementioned issues.
* Performs better.
Implementation details
This version is based on the original fzy
[algorithm](https://github.com/jhawthorn/fzy/blob/master/src/match.c),
with one key enhancement: **multibyte character support**.
* The original implementation supports only ASCII.
* This patch replaces ascii lookup tables with function calls, making it
compatible with multibyte character sets.
* Core logic (`match_row()` and `match_positions()`) remains faithful to
the original, but now operates on codepoints rather than single-byte
characters.
Performance
Tested against a dataset of **90,000 Linux kernel filenames**. Results
(in milliseconds) show a **\~2x performance improvement** over the
current fuzzy matching algorithm.

var start = reltime()
var tmp = matchfuzzy(haystack, needle)
echom $'{needle}' (start->reltime()->reltimefloat() * 1000)
endfor
```
Additional changes
* Removed the "camelcase" option from both matchfuzzy() and
matchfuzzypos(), as it's now obsolete with the improved algorithm.

A file containing only async functions (`async def func()`) wouldn't
previously match the pythonSync pattern.
Also, this pattern only matches at the beginning of the line, so it
won't ever match method definitions (which are indented within class

Problem: Buffer menu does not handle unicode names correctly
(after v9.1.1622)
Solution: Fix the BMHash() function (Yee Cheng Chin)
The Buffers menu uses a BMHash() function to generate a sortable number
to be used for the menu index. It used a naive (and incorrect) way of
encoding multiple ASCII values into a single integer, but assumes each
character to be only in the ASCII 32-96 range. This means if we use
non-ASCII file names (e.g. Unicode values like CJK or emojis) we get
integer underflow and overflow, causing the menu index to wrap around.
Vim's GUI implementations internally use a signed 32-bit integer for the
`gui_mch_add_menu_item()` function and so we need to make sure the menu
index is in the (0, 2^31-1) range.
To do this, if the file name starts with a non-ASCII value, we just use
the first character's value and set the high bit so it sorts after the
other ASCII ones. Otherwise, we just take the first 5 characters, and
use 5 bit for each character to encode a 30-bit number that can be
sorted.
This means Unicode file names won't be sorted beyond the first
character. This is likely going to be fine as there are lots of ways to
query buffers.

Problem: Patch v9.1.1432 causes performance regressions
Solution: Revert "patch 9.1.1432: GTK GUI: Buffer menu does not handle
unicode correctly" (Yee Cheng Chin).
This reverts commit 08896dd330.
The previous change to support Unicode characters properly in the
buffers menu resorted to removing all buffer menus and re-add the
buffers after doing a sort, per each buffer addition. This was quite
slow because if Vim is trying to load in multiple buffers at once (e.g.
when loading a session) this scales in O(n^2) and Vim can freeze for
dozens of seconds when adding a few hundred buffers.

Problem: diff: using diff anchors with hidden buffers fails silently
Solution: Give specific error message for diff anchors when using hidden
buffers (Yee Cheng Chin).
Diff anchors currently will fail to parse if a buffer used for diff'ing
is hidden. Previously it would just fail as the code assumes it would
not happen normally, but this is actually possible to do if `closeoff`
and `hideoff` are not set in diffopt. Git's default diff tool "vimdiff3"
also takes advantage of this.
This fix this properly would require the `{address}` parser to be
smarter about whether a particular address relies on window position or
not (e.g. the `'.` address requires an active window, but `'a` or `1234`
do not). Since hidden diff buffers seem relatively niche, just provide a
better error message / documentation for now. This could be improved
later if there's a demand for it.
