Expand `:Focus :.Spawn` into what will actually be called

[teoljungberg]

I use :.Spawn to run the current test in a new window and automatically focus it. :Focus :.Dispatch expands :.Dispatch before setting the global focus to it, I'd expect :Focus :.Spawn to do the same.

If we collectively want this, I'd happily submit a PR if I can be put into the right direction.

I think that would be fine, although it's starting to get convoluted.

This diff got :Focus :.Spawn to expand :.Spawn to essentially run :.Dispatch - but it takes away the functionality of running :.Spawn in a new window.

Ideas?

I think what you want to do, effectively, is prepend :Spawn to the string. But make sure you end up with :Spawn -dir=... and not -dir=... :Spawn, and never add -compiler=....

Note that I retooled the existing :Focus :Dispatch support recently to fix some bugs.

Oh, you'll actually need :Spawn -wait=always to match how :.Spawn works.
