I'm wondering whether not mentioning that 'path' can (should?) be set
locally is intentional. I typically use `setlocal path=` on
a per-filetype basis in `~/.vim/after/ftplugin` scripts.
I'm of two minds regarding that strategy.
On one hand that is how I override filetype-specific stuff in general, and some of my after scripts are pretty large.
On the other hand, I have found &path to be highly framework/stack dependent instead of filetype-specific, which lead me to replicate the same setting over several files, which I didn't really like.
I've switched to a more "holistic" approach, where I set &path in my vimrc, to an exhaustive list of interesting directories typical of the kind of project I work on.
The linked gist kind of reflects my position on this, but feel free to comment on it if you feel something is missing or wrong.
