That would actually make sense and since I usually have debugging symbols included and not stripping them, would even be more exotic :). I am also not sure, that this is a good enough indicator, but here is another one: #v+ chrisbra@debian ~/code/git/vim-src/src (git)-[tags/v8.0.1600]- % ls -l temp/* -rwxr-xr-x 1 chrisbra chrisbra 12234272 Mar 13 07:51 temp/vim.huge -rwxr-xr-x 1 chrisbra chrisbra 12264088 Mar 13 07:46 temp/vim.huge.vartabs chrisbra@debian ~/code/git/vim-src/src (git)-[tags/v8.0.1600]- % strip temp/* && ls -l temp/* -rwxr-xr-x 1 chrisbra chrisbra 2973208 Mar 13 07:52 vim.huge -rwxr-xr-x 1 chrisbra chrisbra 2981528 Mar 13 07:52 vim.huge.vartabs #v- That makes it an increase by 0.28% or 8320 bytes. This compares the huge build and since the vartab feature is only included in those builds, I figured comparing the tiny size would not make much sense :) Now does that warrant including it? I don't know. But considering that this patch has been floating around for 11 years and there is a constant demand for it every now and then, I think it might make sense. Those who do not like it, can always disable it at compile time. And BTW: when working with tab delimited files I really would like to see that feature, since it makes auto-aligning those columns really handy, especially with huge files. That would be a good improvement to my csv plugin (although obviously only for those tab delimited files). But then I have not seen tab delimited files for a very long time (which does not mean they are not used much outside of my little bubble).
