There are no options. Vim is written in C and I see no reason to
change. Perhaps, when Zimbu is "ready" I might consider rewriting some
pieces in Zimbu, but that's going to take several years during which no
bugs will be fixed and no new features will be added. For a similar
reason Elvis no longer exists...
