{dict} is for functions with the "dict" attribute. It will be
used to set the local variable "self". |Dictionary-function|
+capture({command}) *capture()*
+ Capture output of {command}.
+ If {command} is a |String|, returns {command} output.
+ If {command} is a |List|, returns concatenated outputs.
+ Examples: >
+ echo capture('echon "foo"')
+< foo >
+ echo capture(['echon "foo"', 'echon "bar"'])
+< foobar
+ This function is not available in the |sandbox|.
+ Note: {command}s run as if prepended with |:silent| (output is
+ captured, but not displayed). If multiple capture() calls are
+ nested, the outer capture() will not catch the command output
+ of the inner capture(); the inner capture will not cancel the
+ outer.
+ Note: Text attributes (highlights) are not captured.
+
ceil({expr}) *ceil()*
Return the smallest integral value greater than or equal to
{expr} as a |Float| (round up).
