Yes, I realise that's the recommendation, but my _vimrc is over 2000
lines and a lot of it old, from before += was added.  Many users may
still set it the old way and miss out on new stuff by default.  Would
make more sense if any new options changed the default behaviour when
present, rather than simply specifying default behaviour unless
absent.
