A vim modeline is just a commented line at the end of the file. Its presence 
there shouldn't force anyone to use vim. Neither should it affect anyone who is 
using another text editor for editing SlackBuilds, as long as that comment line 
just stays there.

I'm merely providing an option rather than strongly trying to advocate for 
enforcing such a change, since I'm not even contributing buildscripts to SBo, 
so my voice is quiet.
