commit https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/910b8aac5dc4693c4508b7acd2cef0bbfac04242 Author: Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> Date: Tue Feb 16 21:03:07 2016 +0100 patch 7.4.1341 Problem: It's difficult to add more arguments to ch_sendraw() and ch_sendexpr(). Solution: Make the third option a dictionary.

" Vim script used in test_eval.in.  Needed for script-local function.

func! s:Testje()
  return "foo"
endfunc
let Bar = function('s:Testje')
$put ='s:Testje exists: ' . exists('s:Testje')
$put ='func s:Testje exists: ' . exists('*s:Testje')
$put ='Bar exists: ' . exists('Bar')
$put ='func Bar exists: ' . exists('*Bar')
