Thanks, Tony. It'd occurred to me that :if must be special-cased in -eval
builds, I just hadn't discovered exactly how.
That said, I have found at least two vendor builds which omit :finish
entirely, confirmed by attempting to load a .vimrc consisting solely of:
set nocompatible
finish
quit
The builds in question load this as follows:
$ vi
Error detected while processing /home/rob/.vimrc:
line 2:
E319: Sorry, the command is not available in this version: finish
$

I'd actually been attempting something more complex -- the !has('eval')
case was the simplest I'd tried, but I think I can get away with the ":if
1" method as a baseline test easily enough.
Thanks!
