Reopening so I can merge with GitHub as soon as I finish it.

I'll also mention that ZyX dropped moonscript in his VimL translator tests to work around an infinite cycle issue.

https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/471#issuecomment-52203263

Other reasons for dropping moonscript:

- ["failed to parse"](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/392#issuecomment-38391831) error message adds cognitive overhead
- increased cognitive overhead when debugging a test
- increased ramp-up cost for new contributors

It's worth noting that moonscript is a high-quality project by a talented and attentive author. And though the issues we've had could possibly be resolved, dropping moonscript is an acceptable workaround for us because (1) it eliminates variables and (2) allows us to focus on other priorities.
