--- @brief
---
---WARNING: This is an experimental interface intended to replace the message
---grid in the TUI.
---
---To enable the experimental UI (default opts shown):
---```lua
---require('vim._extui').enable({
---  enable = true, -- Whether to enable or disable the UI.
---  msg = { -- Options related to the message module.
---    ---@type 'cmd'|'msg' Where to place regular messages, either in the
---    ---cmdline or in a separate ephemeral message window.
---    target = 'cmd',
---    timeout = 4000, -- Time a message is visible in the message window.
---  },
---})
---```
---
---There are four separate window types used by this interface:
---- "cmd": The cmdline window; also used for 'showcmd', 'showmode', 'ruler', and
---  messages if 'cmdheight' > 0.
---- "msg": The message window; used for messages when 'cmdheight' == 0.
---- "pager": The pager window; used for |:messages| and certain messages
---   that should be shown in full.
---- "dialog": The dialog window; used for prompt messages that expect user input.
---
---These four windows are assigned the "cmd", "msg", "pager" and "dialog"
---'filetype' respectively. Use a |FileType| autocommand to configure any local
---options for these windows and their respective buffers.
---
---Rather than a |hit-enter-prompt|, messages shown in the cmdline area that do
---not fit are appended with a `[+x]` "spill" indicator, where `x` indicates the
---spilled lines. To see the full message, the |g<| command can be used.
