Well, I did not talk about the functionality. I just talk about the
option itself.

I didn't know of the functionality/option before that bug happened.

Thats right. But you did see from the link above that this link was last
changed in October 2013.

Because vim can know that this option exists and is of no use for the
present version.

And that was the behaviour in earlier versions; just ignoring this empty
value over there.

_If_ it is set. But it was never set in my setup and it is even set to
an empty value in my views: "setlocal balloonexpr="

As I told before, I did not even know that this option exists. And it is
set to an empty value in the view (What might be the default). So could
you tell me for which reason this went into the view if it would be only
saved when set?
