I've committed the first two and the last two, ie not the scary unused
assignments one. I also added a small blurb to NEWS about the first
one. Should probably have added g:: too, I can do that now if you
want. I also noticed there's no Etc/relnote_4.3.11.txt.

 The ${NAME:OFFSET:LENGTH} syntax now supports negative LENGTH, which
 counts back from the end of the string.

+The (g:opts:) flag in parameter expansion processes escape sequences like
+the echo and print builtins.  opts can be any combination of o, e and c.
+With e, acts like print rather than echo except for octal escapes which
+are controlled separately by the o option.  With c, interpret control
