I noticed i introduced real bugs with the configuration i posted earlier as can
been seen above.
Instead of adding this to '~/vimfiles/filetype.vim' you should drop the attached
file into '~/vimfiles/after/ftdetect/'. Otherwise all '*.txt' will be forcibly
overwritten to 'ft=text' even those that are set otherwise in
'$VIMRUNTIME/filetype.vim'.
