Hmm. It's unexpected--on its face, though the reason is obvious--that
setting "nocompatible" in vimrc breaks "-C". I wonder if there's a way
for vimrc to say "turn on nocompatible unless -C was used".

I'm confused. A simple configuration change is a showstopper? (":set
compatible noautoindent" in /etc/vim/vimrc.) I havn't seen any significant
differences between vi and vim mentioned that aren't trivially fixed.
