What I see here, if done, is a potential new major version of vim.
Such a new version may trade off backward compatibility for up-to-date
technology and/or design constraints.

Since the changes may be huge, I concur with the suggestion of
creating a branch, and having discussions *and* documentation on its
evolution.
You raised some very interesting questions, and I hope that other
people who know about the internals give their point of view too.

As far as memory usage is concerned, I am now very egoistic and
believe that I have enough RAM to run vim. If I don't, then I'll use
vi, or an old version of vim.
I used to collect and use old hardware, but I'm now getting my job
done and bringing home the bacon thanks to vim on machines with more
memory that I could think of not so long ago…

Anyway,

Cheers,

P!
