The arguments of setqflist() are already different from those of
getqflist(), so why does an extra argument has to be the same? Why not
something like this:
call getqflist('title,context,nr')
or
call getqflist(['title', 'context', 'nr'])
vs.
call setqflist(errors, 'r',
\ { 'title': 'My preciousss', 'context': ctx, 'nr': -1 })
(BTW, { 'nr': -1 } could mean last).
