Problem:
Error when querying document symbols using python-lsp-server:
lsp/util.lua:1955: attempt to concatenate field 'containerName' (a userdata value)
Solution:
Check for `vim.NIL`.
Problem: There are many Git forges each with a different way of
constructing permanent links to like commits and tags.
Solution: Add a private utility function that computes these special
links on the best effort basis.
Problem:
Too much boilerplate needed to use Lua to impl an excmd or f_xx
function.
Solution:
- Add `nlua_call_vimfn` which takes the args typval, executes
Lua, and returns a typval.
- refactor(excmd): lua impl for :log, :lsp
Problem:
When a terminal process exits, "[Process Exited]" text is added
to the buffer contents.
Solution:
- Return `exitcode` field from `nvim_get_chan_info`.
- Show it in the default 'statusline'.
- Show exitcode as virtual text in the terminal buffer.
Problem:
Can't use `:source` to run a Lua codeblock (treesitter injection) in
a help (vimdoc) file.
Solution:
Use treesitter to parse the range and treat it as Lua if detected as
such.
Problem:
We want to encourage implementing core features in Lua instead of C, but
it's clumsy because:
- Core Lua code (built into `nvim` so it is available even if VIMRUNTIME
is missing/invalid) requires manually updating CMakeLists.txt, or
stuffing it into `_editor.lua`.
- Core Lua modules are not organized similar to C modules, `_editor.lua`
is getting too big.
Solution:
- Introduce `_core/` where core Lua code can live. All Lua modules added
there will automatically be included as bytecode in the `nvim` binary.
- Move these core modules into `_core/*`:
```
_defaults.lua
_editor.lua
_options.lua
_system.lua
shared.lua
```
TODO:
- Move `_extui/ => _core/ui2/`
Fixes issue on mac where it was constantly reloading buffers as paths
were not being normalized and resolved correctly (in relation to buffer
name).
Quickfix entry:
/var/folders/pt/2s7dzyw12v36tsslrghfgpkr0000gn/T/git-difftool.m95lj8/right/app.vue
Buffer name:
/private/var/folders/pt/2s7dzyw12v36tsslrghfgpkr0000gn/T/git-difftool.m95lj8/right/app.vue
/var was synlinked to /private/var and this was not being properly
handled.
Also added lazy redraw to avoid too many redraws when this happens in
future and added test for symlink handling.

Problem:
Built-in diff mode (nvim -d) does not support directory diffing
as required by git difftool -d. This makes it difficult to compare
entire directories, detect renames, and navigate changes efficiently.
Solution:
Add a DiffTool plugin and command that enables side-by-side diffing of
files and directories in Neovim. The plugin supports rename detection,
highlights changes in the quickfix list, and provides a user command for
easy invocation. This allows proper integration with git difftool -d for
directory comparison.
Example git config:
```ini
[diff]
tool = nvim_difftool
[difftool "nvim_difftool"]
cmd = nvim -c "packadd nvim.difftool" -c "DiffTool $LOCAL $REMOTE"
```
