Vim9 class implementation update

[Yegappan Lakshmanan]

Hi all,

The following Vim9 class features have been implemented so far:

1. Class definition and object creation

2. Class variables and methods

3. Object variables and methods

4. Read-only, Read-write and private access control for class/object variables

5. Extending a class (overriding methods)

6. Defining an interface

7. Implementing an interface

8. Defining an abstract class

9. Extending an abstract class

The list of known issues is here:

https://github.com/vim/vim/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3Avim9class

We need to freeze the Vim9 class specification for the Vim 9.1 release.

It will be helpful if folks can try these features out and report any issues.

We are mainly looking for any modifications to the specification

that will break backward compatibility.  Bug fixes and new features can

be addressed after the Vim 9.1 release.

It is also helpful to get some feedback on the documentation:

https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/master/runtime/doc/vim9class.txt

The Vim9 class todo list is here:

https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/master/runtime/doc/todo.txt#L124

Thanks,

Yegappan
