...and to be consistent with startup arguments (-o/-O/-p) there should
also be a value for "vertical split". This is how MacVim works
(although this behavior is implemented as a Preference in the MacVim
app and not as a Vim option).
I haven't looked at the patch but if implemented as one option (as
Lech suggested) then I'd support the inclusion of such a patch.
(Which would mean I could get rid of my hack in MacVim to support this
behavior.)
