Re: BufNew not triggered for matching file specified on the command line

Reading the link Justin posted, seems like this is a limitation resulting from the design of Vim.

Given this limitation, is there another way to run post-creation setup on *all* matching buffers, including those created for files specified on the CLI?

I need to set the filetype and run a bunch of setup commands on *.md buffers. BufNew was the only proper way I found to do this, and apparently I can't count on it to work in all cases.

Is there an alternative?

My current "workaround" has been to use BufRead instead. It is not optimal: it triggers every time the buffer is re-read, which is far more often than I need it to run (only once when the buffer is created).
