Feature request: Support popup menu for wildmenu

[Yegappan Lakshmanan]

Hi,

Now that the popumenu feature has been implemented, it will be
useful to support the popumenu option for wildmenu (similar to the
wildoptions=pum supported in NeoVim).

https://github.com/neovim/neovim/commit/be8ebba325451b387c0aedacfcda6c53e6c51188#diff-c0e00d2bd89b0443251856334519654c

Thanks,
Yegappan

The popupmenu has been around for quite a while.

Currently 'wildmenu' uses the status line to show matches, which is a
bit limited. Using the popup menu can be useful. Adding "pum" to
'wildoptions' seems appropriate.

Is this still in the works?

It will be quite a bit of work, and probably cause some regressions.
Is it worth it? What will be the advantage?

So the options:

set wildmenu
set wildoptions=pum

Would show:

Which I feel is natural and consistent with how completion generally works in Vim as opposed to:

Maybe set wildmenupum can be used for backward compatability
