+		Similar to prop_add(), but attaches a text property at
+		multiple positions in a buffer.
+
+		{props} is a dictionary with these fields:
+		   bufnr	buffer to add the property to; when omitted
+				the current buffer is used
+		   id		user defined ID for the property; must be a
+				number; when omitted zero is used
+		   type		name of the text property type
+		All fields except "type" are optional.
+
+		The second argument is a List of Lists where each list
+		specifies the starting and ending position of the text.  The
+		first two items {lnum} and {col} specify the starting position
+		of the text where the property will be attached and the last
+		two items {end-lnum} and {end-col} specify the position just
+		after the text.
+
+		Example:
+			call prop_add_list(#{type: 'MyProp', id: 2},
+					\ [[1, 4, 1, 7],
+					\  [1, 15, 1, 20],
+					\  [2, 30, 3, 30]]
