If you do that, any settings you make may be overwritten by settings
made in the standard ftplugins in $VIMRUNTIME/ftplugin.  A better
place for your scripts is in ~/.vim/after/ftplugin.  As the name
implies, those scripts will be sourced after all the others, so any
settings made in those scripts will be made last.
