Support GUI signs #4143

Open equalsraf opened 8 years ago

equalsraf commented 8 years ago

sign support allowed the GUI to place icons as defined through the `sign icon= command, but we have no equivalent for remote GUIs, and the old code got removed.

Ping equalsraf/neovim-qt#90.

Yeah, the old code was not something I think we'd want to bring over. Perhaps we can allow arbitrary msgpack objects to be stored on a sign? Then UIs can use them how they like. Plugins would need to use API calls to "configure" the signs; we don't want to extend the :sign command.
