+Calling a function in an expr option ~
+ *expr-option-function*
+A few options, such as 'foldexpr', are an expresison that is evaluated to get
+a value. The evaluation can have quite a bit of overhead. One way to
+minimize the overhead, and also to keep the option value very simple, is to
+defined a compiled function and set the option to call it without arguments.
+Example: >
+ vim9script
+ def MyFoldFunc(): any
+ ... compute fold level for line v:lnum
+ return level
+ enddef
+ set foldexpr=s:MyFoldFunc()
