I wanted to set up Vim to run in `--remote-silent` by default (got the idea 
from Derek Wyatt's videos), and a simple `alias mvim='mvim --remote-silent'` in 
my bash_profile worked until I tried running `mvim` without any arguments.

I chased my tail on this for a while, but finally came up with a working 
solution. Thought I'd share, in case anyone else finds this useful or has 
suggestions/improvements. From my bash_profile:

    function ivim {
      if [ -n "$1" ] ; then
        command mvim --remote-silent "$@"
      elif [ -n "$( mvim --serverlist )" ] ; then
        command mvim --remote-send ":call foreground()<CR>:enew<CR>:<BS>"
      else
        command mvim
      fi
    }

If an argument is passed, it calls remote-silent with the passed arguments. 
Otherwise, it checks for already running Vim servers and if any exist, calls 
remote-send. If none exist, it simply calls mvim.
