introduced property-based fuzzing to our test suite based on Hypothesis and Hypothersmith (#1566) - implemented experimental and disabled by default long string rewrapping (#1132), hidden under a `--experimental-string-processing` flag while it's being worked on; this is an undocumented and unsupported feature, you lose Internet points for depending on it (#1609) ### Vim plugin -
