I am sorry I was not clear enough... By "ship it with vim", I actually meant bundle the (Python|Lisp|Perl|Ruby|Whatever) interpreter with vim so that plugins written in this language are directly usable without extra installation nor configuration. This would avoid having to re-invent the wheel with another scripting language specific to vim. Of course, your argument of the cake I can make myself and eat is still valid... - Vincent -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
