Or even set rtp+=~/.vim or set rtp^=~/.vim :)

But I want to insert the ~/.vim/ dir inside &rtp in the right place
before $VIMRUNTIME, and only if it is not included in &rtp already.
set rtp+= ... will not append if already ... is already present
set rtp^= ... will prepend, but will not prepend if ... is already present

For this I need to process every dir in &rtp and compare it with both
~/.vim/ and $VIMRUNTIME. And for this I need the canonical path names.
Are you worried about whether or not ~/.vim is already in $VIMRUNTIME?
$VIMRUNTIME has already been expanded, so if ~/.vim duplicates one of
the $VIMRUNTIME entries, it won't prepend with ^= and won'tappend with += .

Ok, than
        :set rtp ^= ~/.vim
        :set rtp += ~/.vim
will take care of any duplicates.

But if ~/.vim is not already in &rtp, that it will be prepended (or appended) to the entire list, and that is not what I want. I would like to insert it in the list right before $VIMRUNTIME.

(by the way, $VIMRUNTIME is not &runtimepath, it is only one of the directories in &runtimepath, and it usually appears there in the middle of the list).

Thank you,
Adrian Constantin
