how to run Vim's `:set` command using `vim --remote-expr`
In Vim command-line mode, I can run `:set invnumber` to toggle line numbers on/off. Is there a way to run this command using the `$ vim --remote-expr {expr}` shell command? I know I can do this using `$ vim --remote-send ':set invnumber<cr>'`. But I want to know if I can do this using `vim --remote-expr` so I can build a more complicated command off of it.
