The problem with setting w:quickfix_title directly is that the title
is not properly stored with the list and so it's lost when using
cnewer/colder.
The advantage of having separate functions is that you can set the
title without having to replace the existing list:
call setqftitle('something meaningful')
vs
call setqflist(getqflist(), 'r', 'something meaningful')
However, while testing your patch it seems I can't overwrite the
existing title to make it something more meaningful when using replace
('r') or append ('a'). In those cases the argument seems to be
ignored. So when making use of cexpr to build my quickfix list, I'm
still stuck with the default title vim generates or setting
w:quickfix_title directly and losing that title when navigating the
quickfix lists history.
I'm not dead set on having separate functions like in my patch, but
not being able to update the persistent title of an existing list
makes your patch far less useful in my usage. Can that aspect be
remedied?
