New Year 🎉

$ LANG=C vim --cmd "vim9cmd echo getline('.')"
Error detected while processing pre-vimrc command line:
E1209: Invalid value for a line number: ".1"
Press ENTER or type command to continue

echo getline('.') is a valid Vim9 script, so shouldn't it display an error?
(The buffer has not yet been created?)
