Re: evaluating vim functions in search mappings

Okay, I recognized your point that = is a register and read up on
registers, and now I see what you mean. Also, your point about
indent(line('.')) was right. Thank you!

map ]0 /^\s\{0,^V^R=indent(line('.'))^V^M}\S^V^M
map [0 ?^\s\{0,^V^R=indent(line('.'))^V^M}\S^V^M

So you could either do ^R=somefunc()^M where ^R and ^M are literal CTRL-R and carriage return characters, or even better (in a mapping) use the map syntax <C-R> and <CR>/<C-M>/<Enter>. Even BETTER, is to use an expression mapping. :help :map-<expr>.
