I think as long as the variable exists when the viminfo file is written
and the viminfo option contains the '!' flag and your vim is newer than
7.3.X where x introduced storing dicts and lists in the viminfo file (
I don't remember the exact version, it was introduced with one of the
7.3. patches).
