Problem: Several win_T fields are declared as "int" or "char" but are
used strictly as boolean flags with TRUE/FALSE values. The
integer types obscure the boolean intent and are wider than
needed.
Solution: Change the following win_T members to bool (stdbool.h) and
update their assignments from TRUE/FALSE to true/false
accordingly.
The following conversions have been done:
- int -> bool (10 members):
w_set_curswant, w_botfill, w_old_botfill, w_do_win_fix_cursor,
w_popup_fixed, w_border_highlight_isset, w_cline_folded,
w_redr_status, w_arg_idx_invalid, w_has_scrollbar
- char -> bool (4 members):
w_topline_was_set, w_ru_empty, w_fold_manual, w_foldinvalid
No existing code compares these members against TRUE/FALSE explicitly or
uses ++/-- / bitwise ops on them, so only plain assignments are
affected.
Excluded:
- w_locked (recursion counter with ++/--),
- w_want_scrollbar (may hold -1 from dict_get_bool),
- w_winbar_height (used in arithmetic and exposed as number via
getwininfo()).

Problem: using int as bool
Solution: refactor: use bool type for internal flags in buf_T
(Hirohito Higashi)
Change the type of 23 internal state flag fields in buf_T from int
to bool for improved type clarity and code readability.
These fields are pure boolean flags that are never accessed via the
option system's varp (which uses *(int *)varp = value), never compared
with int fields holding non-0/1 values, and never use tristate values.
Converted fields:
- State flags: b_dev_valid, b_saving, b_mod_set, b_new_change,
b_marks_read, b_modified_was_set, b_did_filetype, b_keep_filetype,
b_au_did_filetype, b_u_synced, b_scanned, b_p_initialized
- Characteristic flags: b_has_textprop, b_may_swap, b_did_warn,
b_help, b_spell, b_shortname, b_has_sign_column, b_netbeans_file,
b_was_netbeans_file, b_write_to_channel, b_diff_failed
All TRUE/FALSE assignments to these fields have been updated to
true/false accordingly. The type of temporary save variables
(e.g. help_save in tag.c) has also been adjusted to bool.
Option value fields (b_p_XXX) are kept as int because they are
accessed via the option system and some use tristate (-1) semantics.
Fields compared with int option values (b_start_eof, b_start_eol,
b_start_bomb) are also kept as int to preserve comparison integrity.

Problem: completion: complete_match() Vim script function and
'isexpand' option are not that useful and confusing
(after v9.1.1341)
Solution: Remove function and option and clean up code and documentation
(Girish Palya).
complete_match() and 'isexpand' add no real functionality to Vim. They
duplicate what `strridx()` already does, yet pretend to be part of the
completion system. They have nothing to do with the completion mechanism.
* `f_complete_match()` in `insexpand.c` does not call any completion code.
It’s just a `STRNCMP()` wrapper with fluff logic.
* `'isexpand'` exists only as a proxy argument to that function.
It does nothing on its own and amounts to misuse of a new option.
The following Vim script function can be used to implement the same
functionality:
```vim
func CompleteMatch(triggers, sep=',')
let line = getline('.')->strpart(0, col('.') - 1)
let result = []
for trig in split(a:triggers, a:sep)
let idx = strridx(line, trig)
if l:idx >= 0
call add(result, [idx + 1, trig])
endif
endfor
return result

Problem: not possible to anchor specific lines in difff mode
Solution: Add support for the anchoring lines in diff mode using the
'diffanchor' option (Yee Cheng Chin).
Adds support for anchoring specific lines to each other while viewing a
diff. While lines are anchored, they are guaranteed to be aligned to
each other in a diff view, allowing the user to control and inform the
diff algorithm what the desired alignment is. Internally, this is done
by splitting up the buffer at each anchor and run the diff algorithm on
each split section separately, and then merge the results back for a
logically consistent diff result.
To do this, add a new "diffanchors" option that takes a list of
`{address}`, and a new "diffopt" option value "anchor". Each address
specified will be an anchor, and the user can choose to use any type of
address, including marks, line numbers, or pattern search. Anchors are
sorted by line number in each file, and it's possible to have multiple
anchors on the same line (this is useful when doing multi-buffer diff).
Update documentation to provide examples.
This is similar to Git diff's `--anchored` flag. Other diff tools like
Meld/Araxis Merge also have similar features (called "synchronization
points" or "synchronization links"). We are not using Git/Xdiff's
`--anchored` implementation here because it has a very limited API
(it requires usage of the Patience algorithm, and can only anchor
unique lines that are the same across both files).
Because the user could anchor anywhere, diff anchors could result in
adjacent diff blocks (one block is directly touching another without a
gap), if there is a change right above the anchor point. We don't want
to merge these diff blocks because we want to line up the change at the
anchor. Adjacent diff blocks were first allowed when linematch was
added, but the existing code had a lot of branched paths where
line-matched diff blocks were handled differently. As a part of this
change, refactor them to have a more unified code path that is
generalized enough to handle adjacent diff blocks correctly and without
needing to carve in exceptions all over the place.
