set syntax= will trigger the if &syntax=="" test and will cause
all buffers to turn syntax on.
let &syntax=strftime("%c") does not trigger the if &syntax=="" test.
set syntax=off also does not trigger the if &syntax=="" test, but
then there may be a file with filetype=off
I use a Mac or Linux, tried on Windows using strftime() it did not work.
Simplified to this, it works on both Mac and Win.
Just now learned how to concatenate strings in vim.
function ToggleSyntaxCurrentBuffer()
if &syntax==""
syntax enable
elseif &syntax==&ft
let &syntax=&ft . '~'
else
let &syntax=&ft
endif
endfunction
