also, you can have your cake and eat it too -- vim's filtering syntax is so good you can have a lean and mean vim with no extra interpreters built in, then filter the buffer, or a select part of the buffer through any script or program of your choice if you are a fan of lisp and want to work on your buffer with it, there's no need for a lisp-enabled vim, just send whatever part of your buffer is relevant out to your lisp code and let it send back the modifications you are limited only by your imagination sc -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
