>From tyru's reply and ":help packadd", it looks like there are two
solutions that are within the spirit of Vim's package handling:
1. Add ":packadd! matchit" to my ~/.vimrc.
2. Replace ":runtime macros/matchit.vim" with ":packadd matchit" in
my ~/.vim/plugin/matchit.vim.
If I'm understanding all this, then I think ":help pack-add" should
be changed. I don't think a user would generally want to use
:packadd without the ! in their ~/.vimrc as that would source that
plugin at that point and would ignore the --noplugin option
argument. I think a user's ~/.vimrc should generally contain only
:packadd! commands, with the !.
The version of Vim I'm using at the moment is 7.4.1579.
