Because vim uses 'buftype' to check whether some buffer is a help buffer. If you
write your own plugin and edit a help file, then you won't have 'buftype' set to
`help'.

What language is this? On zsh I would have written this as
if (( count==0 )) ; then proc_0
elif (( count==1 )) ; then proc_1
elif (( count>1 )) ; then proc_n
fi
. In vim:
if count==0 | proc_0
elseif count==1 | proc_1
elseif count>1 | proc_n
endif
(Note that `count' is alias to read-only variable v:count that is keeped for
backwards compatibility, so you may not use it in your script with other
meaning.)
