Vim already used its PID, for instance in the swap files as shown in the
|ATTENTION| message, so it was no big deal to make it available as a builtin
function. Since patch 7.1.262, you can now get it as a Number, as the result
of the getpid() function. Its help isn't yet available on the ftp/rsync
servers (so if you applied the patch, sync'ing your runtimes will remove that
help ยง) but I'm confident it soon will be.
Best regards,
Tony.
