A secure, configurable alternative to modelines

[Ciaran McCreesh]

I've written a script that reimplements a restricted form of modelines
as .vim code rather than internals:

http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1876

It has two options that might be of use:

    let g:secure_modelines_allowed_items = [
                \ "textwidth",   "tw",
                \ "softtabstop", "sts",
                \ "tabstop",     "ts",
                \ "shiftwidth",  "sw",
                \ "expandtab",   "et",
                \ "filetype",    "ft",
                \ "foldmethod",  "fdm",
                \ "readonly",    "ro",   "noreadonly", "noro"
                \ ] 

can be used to restrict which options can be set (the above is the
default value).

    let g:secure_modelines_verbose = 0

If set to 1, warnings will be shown when a modeline attempts to set a
different value.

Feedback would be much appreciated.
