A 'a Api_call.t is a thunked call to neovim returning a Msgpack-encoded 'a. No RPC traffic is generated until an Api_call.t is invoked via run or run_join.

Api_call.t's can be manipulated with an applicative-like interface.

A good mental model is that invoking a 'a Api_call.t should cause exactly one RPC message to be sent to the neovim client, and that any operations within will not be interrupted. Calls with side effects will occur in the order written, so

let%map _a = a
and _b = b
in
()

will cause Neovim to first run a and then b.

This is important for applications that rely on manipulating neovim's internal state. In particular, the atomicity guarantee prevents races with other pending operations, including user input.

You can run an Api_call.t with run or run_join.
