Re: Documentation error
I found this older message; the issue hasn't been resolved because the text has been moved from eval.txt to the file channel.txt (as part of the package vim-common-9.0.1677-2.fc38.x86_64).

Documentation error about jsencode()
The example given at line 4401 of eval.txt is incorrect: the statement
:echo jsencode([1, v:none, {"one":1}], v:none)
gives error E118: Too many arguments for function: jsencode
followed by E15: Invalid expression
The closing square bracket for the List should immediately precede the
closing round bracket for jsencode().
Patch attached.
Best regards,
Tony.

result in v:none items.
jsencode({expr}) *jsencode()*
This is similar to |jsonencode()| with these differences:
- Object key names are not in quotes.
- v:none items in an array result in an empty item between
commas.
For example, the Vim object:
- [1,v:none,{"one":1}],v:none ~
+ [1,v:none,{"one":1},v:none] ~
Will be encoded as:
[1,,{one:1},,] ~
While jsonencode() would produce:
[1,null,{"one":1},null] ~
This encoding is valid for JavaScript. It is more efficient
than JSON, especially when using an array with optional items.
shiftwidth() function documentation error
shiftwidth() *shiftwidth()*
Returns the effective value of 'shiftwidth'. This is the
'shiftwidth' value unless it is zero, in which case it is the
'tabstop' value. To be backwards compatible in indent
plugins, use this:
if exists('*shiftwidth')
func s:sw()
return shiftwidth()
endfunc
else
func s:sw()
return sw
endfunc
endif
And then use s:sw() instead of sw.
I think the else block should be:
else
func s:sw()
return (sw ? sw : ts)
endfunc
endif

If I recall correctly, before the shiftwidth() function was introduced,
the value of 'shiftwidth' couldn't be zero. So the documentation is
correct.
Best,

Re: Vim72a documentation error

Actually, that isn't right either. It should read:
When a Number argument is expected a String argument is also
accepted and automatically converted.
When a Float or String argument is expected a Number argument
is also accepted and automatically converted.
Any other argument type results in an error message.
However, echo printf('%g', 1) currently fails. I think it should work
and automatically convert the Number to a Float.

Re: Documentation error for :sort

:help :sort|/first number
The documentation reads
To sort on the first number in the line, no matter
what is in front of it:
:sort /.*\ze\d/
which is clearly wrong. As * is greedy, this actually sorts on the
last digit in the line. The correct command would be something like
:sort /.\{-}\ze\d/
Thanks for noticing, I'll include the correction.
