This is an autoload function, explained in-depth at:
:help write-library-script
The short story is that the first components are path and filename
components (sans '.vim') that identify the autoload path. The last
is the function name.
Ben -- Thanks very much for the info. First time I've been aware of
these autoload libraries.
One strange thing, though, is that I've added a function to a ftplugin
script (not in an autoload directory) and using the
<filename>#<function-name> naming mechanism seems to work fine, even
without capital letters and without s:.
Interesting. Slightly odd that it's not strict about it.
I gather there's no real benefit from naming them that way, just
thought it was a little odd that no error was thrown.
Yes, I don't think there's a benefit to naming them that way when
outside the 'autoload/' path. And in fact a drawback is that they look
like autoload-able functions, but they're not.
