In macOS 10.13.1, `/usr/bin/vim --version` returns Vim 8.0 (Included
patches: 1-503, 505-642). Vim 8.0.642 is what is shown in the intro
screen.

(Btw, any idea on why patch 504 has been skipped?)

I vaguely remember that in older OS versions there was Vim 7.3, and I
have never seen 7.4. But I have always used the version from Homebrew,
so I may have missed it.

Life.
