This is exactly why I do never use `*map' (without `nore') and `normal' (without
a bang) in my scripts and suggest everybody (here and on stackoverflow) to do
the same.

// BTW, I hate plugins that does not let user change its mappings or

// for vimpluginloader (which is some sort of framework) functions. Other
// plugins use `<unique>' to prevent user mappings from being redefined,
// `hasmapto()' in order not to define mappings for given feature if it was
// already mapped, prefixes or user variables, so user may work remapping issues
