Method I:
-----8<----- foo (or whatever)
#!/bin/bash
vim -S foo.vim
----->8-----
And you can of course make it more general by parameterizing the
script name and create additional scripts that delegate to this one.
Another solution is to use Zsh:
#! /bin/zsh
exec vim -S =(<<'EOS'
echoerr 'hello'
EOS
)
Method II: add to one of your shell startup scripts (~/.bashrc or whatever):
alias foo='vim -S ~/foo.vim'
And again, another one for Zsh:
alias -s vim='vim -S'
Finally, it wouldn't be impossible to make the source command be a bit
more flexible in this regard, disregarding a she-bang line if one is
found.
