With the above snipped in '~/.vim/filetype.vim' overriding settings from
'$VIMRUNTIME/filetype.vim' will NEVER happen (even when setl is stronger then
setf) when '$VIMRUNTIME/filetype.vim' is sourced prior to '~/.vim/filetype.vim'.

But it occurred to me that vims default is to source '~/.vim/filetype.vim' prior
to '$VIMRUNTIME/filetype.vim' as you also mention above.

There are lots of ways to shot one self in the feet. Choose the one that suits
you best.
