Marc has been nothing but civil and doing his best to help here, and
each of your responses has been brusque if not abrasive and combative.
Please keep your tone civil on the mailing list. Accept that not
every piece of software will meet every user's every need.
Apparently, none of the Vim developers have felt a need for reactive
programming, and as such, haven't implemented it. If you feel it's
that important, submit the patches along with an argument for their
inclusion.

Not likely possible

You'd have to clarify this. A number of plugins update the UI in
various ways in response to the file currently being edited.

Likewise, certain plugins allow for functionality akin to this, but I
don't generally use plugins (I switch between machines enough that I
just like to keep a fairly stock vimrc, the core of which fit in a
tweet recently).
