vim.vm.Message
==============
Message data which is intended to be displayed according to the locale of a client.A `VirtualMachineMessage`_ contains both a formatted, localized version of the text and the data needed to perform localization in conjunction with localization catalogs.Clients of the VIM API may use `SessionManager`_ . `SetLocale`_ to cause the server to emit localized `text`_ , or may perform client-side localization based on message catalogs provided by the `LocalizationManager`_ .Message variables are always integers, e.g. {1} and {2}, which are 1-based indexes into `argument`_ .
* The corresponding argument may be a recursive lookup:
*
* `argument`_
* = ["button.cancel", "msg.revert"]
* CATALOG(locmsg,
* `id`_
* ) = "Select '{1}' to {2}"
* CATALOG(locmsg, button.cancel) = "Cancel"
* CATALOG(locmsg, msg.revert) = "revert"
* ==
*
* `text`_
* = "Select 'Cancel' to revert"
* If the recursive lookup fails, the argument is a plain string.
*
* `argument`_
* = ["127.0.0.1"]
* CATALOG(locmsg,
* `id`_
* ) = "IP address is {1}"
* ==
*
* `text`_
* "IP address is 127.0.0.1"See `LocalizationManager`_

Attributes:
id (`str`_):
A unique identifier for this particular message. This field is a key for looking up format strings in the locmsg catalog.
argument ([`object`_], optional):
Substitution arguments for variables in the localized message. Substitution variables in the format string identified by `id`_ are 1-based indexes into this array. Substitution variable {1} corresponds to argument[0], etc.
text (`str`_, optional):
Text in session locale. Use `SessionManager`_ . `SetLocale`_ to change the session locale.
