274 Win32: In 'fileencodings' allow using "acp" for the active codepage. Useful
275 value: "ucs-bom,utf-8,acp,latin1"
276
277 For manipulating buffers without opening a new window, support Virtual
278 windows. Example:
279 :virtwin let l = GetBufLine(4, 10)
280 :fun GetBufLine(bufnr, lnum)
281 : exe "buffer " . a:bufnr
282 : return getline(lnum)
283 :endfun
284 The getline() and setline() functions could work for other buffers, using a
285 Virtual window.
286 A Virtual window only exists for one command. There can be several (for
287 nested commands). The window works as if it comes after the last window, size
288 is the Vim window size, but it's never displayed.
