:vnew
   :view some_readonly_file.txt
in order to avoid the "a swap-file already exists" or "this file 
is RO" messages.
While I know I can create a ":View" command to do this for me, I 
was wondering if there was something built-in I missed.  Perhaps 
like the ":vert" prefix, if there was a "and put the following 
results in a new window" prefix that I missed or a flag for 
":vsp" to specify that the file should be opened RO?  I'd expect 
it to looks something like
   :vnew ++readonly some_readonly_file.txt
   :vert view some_readonly_file.txt
For now, I just have
:command -nargs=1 -complete=file Vsp vnew|view <args>
which does the job.  I just felt like I was missing something 
that Vim might provide.
