-" Tom Ryder (tejr)'s Literate Vimrc
-" =================================
-"
-" <https://sanctum.geek.nz/cgit/dotfiles.git>
-"
-" This is an attempt at something like a 'literate vimrc', in the tradition of
-" Donald Knuth's "literate programming":
-"
-" <http://www.literateprogramming.com/>
-"
-" It's a long file, and comments abound. If this bothers you, you can execute
-" this command in Vim to strip out all the blank lines and lines with only
-" comments:
-"
-" :g/\m^$\|^\s*"/d
-"
-" This file should be saved as "vimrc" in the user runtime directory. On
-" Unix-like operating systems, this is ~/.vim; on Windows, it's ~/vimfiles.
-" It requires Vim 7.0 or newer with +eval, with 'nocompatible'. The vimrc
-" stub at ~/.vimrc on Unix or ~/_vimrc on Windows should check that these
-" conditions are met before loading this file with `:runtime vimrc`.
-"
-" > And I was lifted up in heart, and thought
-" > Of all my late-shown prowess in the lists,
-" > How my strong lance had beaten down the knights,
-" > So many and famous names; and never yet
-" > Had heaven appeared so blue, nor earth so green,
-" > For all my blood danced in me, and I knew
-" > That I should light upon the Holy Grail.
-" >
-" > --Tennyson
-"
-
-" This file has characters outside the ASCII character set, which makes the
-" Vim script linter vim-vint recommend declaring the file encoding with
-" a :scriptencoding command. The :help for this command specifies that it
-" should be done after 'encoding' is set, so we'll do that here at the top of
-" the file too.
-"
-" On Unix, I keep LANG defined in my environment, and it's almost always set
-" to a multibyte (UTF-8) locale. This informs Vim's choice of internal
-" character encoding, but the default for the 'encoding' option in LANG's
-" absence is "latin1". Nowadays, this is never what I want, so we'll manually
-" choose "utf-8" as an encoding instead if the encoding is the default
-" 'latin1', and LANG is not defined.
-"
if !exists('$LANG') && &encoding ==# 'latin1'
set encoding=utf-8
endif
scriptencoding utf-8
-
-" With encoding handled, the next thing we'll do is ensure we have an
-" environment variable MYVIM set that specifies the path to the directory
-" holding user runtime files. We'll only set our own if such a variable does
-" not already exist in the environment.
-"
-" We'll use the path nominated in the MYVIM variable as the root of our
-" 'backupdir', 'directory', 'undodir', and 'viminfofile' caches, and anywhere
-" else we need a sensible writable location for Vim-related files. Having it
-" available as an environment variable makes assignments with :set and
-" escaping much more convenient, without requiring awkward :execute wrappers.
-"
-" I think the absence of a variable like this is a glaring omission from Vim.
-" We have VIM, VIMRUNTIME, and MYVIMRC, so why is there not an environment
-" variable for the user's Vim runtime directory? It is a mystery.
-"
-" The default value for MYVIM will be the first path in &runtimepath. This is
-" similar to what Vim does internally for situating its spelling database
-" files, in the absence of a specific setting for 'spellfile'.
-"
-" Splitting the values of a comma-separated option like 'runtimepath'
-" correctly is surprisingly complicated. The list separator for such options
-" is more accurately defined as follows:
-"
-" > A comma not preceded by a backslash, and possibly followed by an arbitrary
-" > number of spaces and commas.
-"
-" The pattern required for the split breaks down like this:
-"
-" \\ <- Literal backslash
-" \@<! <- Negative lookbehind assertion; means that whatever occurred
-" before this pattern, here a backslash, cannot precede what
-" follows, but anything that does precede it is not removed from
-" the data as part of the split delimiter
-" , <- Literal comma
-" [, ]* <- Any number of commas and spaces
-"
-" For the edge case of a blank 'runtimepath', MYVIM will be set to the empty
-" string, due to the way that split() works by default without its third
-" parameter {keepempty} set to false.
-"
-" Once we have the path elements, we have to remove the escaping for periods,
-" specifically remove up to one backslash before all periods. We do that with
-" a map() over substitute(), string-eval style to accommodate older Vim before
-" Funcref variables were added.
-"
-" We don't, however, have to deal with backslashes before other backslashes,
-" nor before any other character. You can read the source code for the ad-hoc
-" tokenizer in copy_option_part() in src/misc2.c in Vim's source code, and
-" test it with some values of your own, if you want to understand why.
-"
-" I'll factor all of this mess out into a global function if I ever need it
-" anywhere else. Vim, I love you, but you are really weird.

-" to our aim of having everything related to the Vim runtime process in one

-"
-" The normal method of specifying the path to the viminfo file, as applied

-" If we're using two-period spacing for sentences, Vim can interpret the

-" * If a normal mode map would make sense in visual mode, take the time to

-" use selection mode directly.
-"
-" * Avoid mapping in insert mode; let characters be literal to the greatest
-" extent possible, and avoid "doing more" in insert mode besides merely
-" inserting text as it's typed.
-"
-" * Avoid key chords with Ctrl in favor of leader keys.
-"
-" * Never use Alt/Meta key chords; the terminal support for them is just too
-" confusing and flaky.
-"
-" * Don't suppress display of mapped commands for no reason; it's OK to show
-" the user the command that's being run under the hood. Do avoid HIT-ENTER
-" prompts, though.
-"
-" * Avoid shadowing any of Vim's existing functionality. If possible, extend
-" or supplement what Vim does, rather than replacing it.
-"
-" We'll start with the non-leader mappings. Ideally, there shouldn't be too
-" many of these.

-
-" Let's start with some simple ones; these ones all just toggle a boolean

-" require any plugins.
-"
-" These are sometimes applicable in visual mode, and sometimes not. We'll
-" start with the ones that only make sense as normal mode maps. Annoyingly,
-" a visual mode mapping for 'cursorline' toggling doesn't work at all;
-" 'cursorline' is always off when in any visual mode, including block mode,
-" where it actually might have been really handy.

-" The next mapping is also for toggling an option, but it's more complicated;
-" it uses a simple plugin of mine called copy_linebreak.vim to manage several

-"
-" It's designed for usage in terminal emulators and multiplexers to
-" temporarily make the buffer text suitable for copying in such a way that the
-" wrapping and any associated soft formatting won't pervert the text,
-" including 'breakindent', 'linebreak', and 'showbreak' artifacts.
