vim repeat sets could include insert-mode text

[SevereOverfl0w]

e.g.

<localleader>wdefn should be the repeat#set text instead of <localleaderw alone. This makes it easier to repeat that kind of change, and would align the behavior with a and i for example.

Based on tpope/vim-repeat#63 (comment) it seems like the best option is to avoid using repeat.vim and use an operatorfunc (g@) instead.

Vim's b:changedtick behavior is too unpredictable for repeat.vim to be reliable.

I tried to do the easiest solution with:

func! Foo(...)
  call sexp#wrap('e', '(', ')', 0, g:sexp_insert_after_wrap)
endf

set opfunc=Foo

Then doing g@iwfoo. When doing ., the text "foo" was inserted, but not the wrapping parens, so I guess there's limitations to how far opfunc can repeat something.

This limitation might be overcome with the right change to vim-sexp however.

I can't quite figure out how to do this, I stumbled upon vim/vim#202 which suggests that this is possible. The linked commit doesn't seem related though.

I've opened vim/vim#3126 in the hopes of getting some information. I don't think it's currently possible to implement c in user-code though. Maybe you will have some insight into that though @justinmk?
