Vim maintains the numbered registers 0-9. These are maintained automatically by Vim.

I had a request for the YankRing plugin to also manage these registers and make sure the top 10 most recently used entries in the YankRing are in those registers.

In attempting to implement this, I see Vim has it's own design on these. So even as I write to them:
let @2 = 'blah'

This will be overwritten with something else.

You can read about the numbered registers here:
:h quote_number

Though I am seeing some behaviour with the #2 register that I can't really explain. I was hoping someone familiar with the code could have a quick look at tell me what Vim is putting in this register. I have not been able to determine when or why this one is updated with the text it receives.

Is there any Vim option to turn off the management of the numbered registers?

TIA,
Dave
