I submitted a patch back in 2003 to add the setbufline() function.
Refer to the following e-mail threads:

https://marc.info/?l=vim-dev&m=104308972718854&w=3
http://vim.1045645.n5.nabble.com/Re-missing-setbufline-td1200781.html

But there were problems in changing the lines in a buffer. So this was
not incorporated at that time.

Looking at the latest todo.txt, I see the following patches:
