I rely on Vim behaving just as it does: when I type CTRL-C it
attempts to stop what it's doing but does not exit. If it happens
to stop just before I type the CTRL-C, it does not exit but prints
the statement,
Type :quit<Enter> to exit Vim
This is exactly the behavior I would expect and which I want. Your
proposal would make it too easy to exit Vim inadvertently.
