Neovim doesn't work without vimproc

[robertjk]

Should vimproc be required for Neovim?

README says:

Tsuquyomi requires the following:

• Vim (vim7.4 or later)
• Node.js & TypeScript
• Shougo/vimproc.vim (Not required if you use vim8 or later)

I use Neovim in the newest version 0.4.2, but it seems vimproc is required for me. Why?

Shouldn't "Not required if you use vim8 or later" also include Neovim? From what I understand about vimproc after reading it's README, it adds asynchronicity support to Vim, which Neovim supports out of the box.

Problems without vimproc

If I don't install it, the plugin doesn't work and I get this errors:

:TsuStatusServer:

dead

:TsuStartServer:

Error detected while processing function tsuquyomi#startServer[1]..tsuquyomi#tsClient#startTss[2]..<SNR>123_startTssVimproc[5]..<SNR>115_touch:
line    4:
E117: Unknown function: vimproc#popen3
E15: Invalid expression: vimproc#popen3(a:cmd)

After vimproc installation everything works fine.
