Hi,

I'd like to use a plain text editor.
I don't want any surprises.
I don't want it to think it understands language syntax.
I don't want it to colorize things.
I don't want it to do anything at all for me, unless I explicitly
say it is okay for it to do so.

In short, I want vi.  Except Linux distributions now alias vi
to vim and all its wondrous wizardry.  ``set compatible'' is
insufficient.  I still get automated commenting when the silly
thing has decided that I must be editing a C file.  Leave me
alone, please.  I want it all turned off.  I have been unable
to find a simple way to do that.

:set paste
