Re: [vim/vim] Add option to disable q: (Issue #21110)

Thanks a lot for the response, appreciate you taking the time. Just to clarify though, because I don't think I explained myself that well the first time this isn't really about vim guessing what I meant, I actually agree with that philosophy.

The issue is that `autocmd CmdwinEnter : quit` doesn't really behave as if `q:` was never triggered in the first place, the window still shows up for a split second before it closes, so its more of a "hide it fast" than an actual "don't open it". You can notice this flicker pretty easily and it appears quite often.

My ohter consideration was `<nowait>` but it doesn't fix this either since this isn't a mapping vs mapping conflict, its a mapping vs built in command one.

So basically right now there's no actual clean way to get rid of this, either you get the flicker or you get the delay, one or the other.

What I'm getting at is, q already knows how to instantly prioritize stopping a macro recording over waiting for more of the built in `q:`/`q/`/`q?` sequence, so what if that same kind of priority applied to user mappings (as a settable option or something) too? That way people who already remap it (which again, from what I've seen, quite a lot do, **especially** the `q:` one) wouldn't have to deal with the delay, and `q:`'s default behavior wouldn't have to change at all for anyone who doesn't touch it.

I think this kind of fix might be worth considering. It feels less like "messing with built in stuff" and more like fixing a gap in how q disambiguates against user maps.
