A coworker pointed out that part of the window-local example in ":help local-options" is no longer accurate.
:e one
:set list
:e two
Now the 'list' option will also be set in "two", since with the ":set list"
command you have also set the global value. >
:set nolist
:e one
:setlocal list
:e two
Now the 'list' option is not set, because ":set nolist" resets the global
value, ":setlocal list" only changes the local value and ":e two" gets the
global value.
So far so good, but now:
Note that if you do this next: >
:e one
You will not get back the 'list' value as it was the last time you edited
"one". The options local to a window are not remembered for each buffer.
This seems no longer to be true; the previous buffer does indeed seem to
remember its 'list' setting. Did the behavior change at some point?
The existing behavior seems superior, so here's a patch to delete that last
note and bring the docs in sync.
