+To support mapping <F4> to be used as <F4>{motion}: Add operator that

+Patch from Yasuhiro Matsumoto: ":e ++enc=xxx" keeps encoding for conversion

ccomplete:
- When an option is set: In completion mode and the user types (identifier)
characters, advance to the first match instead of removing the popup menu.

+When editing a file "a" that is a symbolic link to "b", while another Vim is
+editing "b", there is no warning. Follow symlink to make swap file name?

+In diff mode deleting lines is very slow. E.g., when diffing two .po files
