I noticed a problem with the fileformats option not being applied to the

initial buffers with dos line-endings but if I start a new buffer with :new
or :e with the name of file that did not exist then the fileformat is set to
unix line-endings.
The help says this about 'fileformats':
Note that when Vim starts up with an empty buffer this option is not
used. Set 'fileformat' in your .vimrc instead.
My vimrc predates the note being added. Still, should have re-read it.
At least with this change an exception case has been removed.
The following patch applies fileformats to the initial buffer created by
VIM. I have been using it for the last 9 months without any obvious issues.
I have tested a couple of ways of feeding data into the initial buffer (such
as C:> dir | vim -) and it does what I would expect. So can anyone see any
issues with this patch?
If you're changing the behavior, you should probably also change the
help text to match.
Very good point.
