Feature request #1775: Progress indicator for long-running spec process inside Vim

Description

Specific use case here is Running RSpec specs from inside Vim. We basically have a long-running spec suite invoked like this: 

cexpr system("bin/rspec -r spec/support/vim_formatter.rb -f RSpec::Core::Formatters::VimFormatter " . dir)

The problem is that we can't display feedback during the spec run because the system() call effectively blocks until the entire output is returned.

    One possible idea which strikes me is the following:

    let tmpfile = tempname()

" this will echo progress as it arrives
exe '!' . "bin/rspec --no-color -r spec/support/vim_formatter.rb -f RSpec::Core::Formatters::VimFormatter " . dir . " | tee " . tmpfile

" once command is complete we show the quickfix list
cexpr readfile(tmpfile)
