It seemed to me that Howard had concluded that placing the exe in
the middle of that autocommand was incorrect as it was affecting
only part of the autocommand, and that the exe had to be applied to
the entire command, as either something like this
au BufRead * exe "for i in range(1,9) |let @" . i . " = '' | endfor"
or like this
exe "au BufRead * for i in range(1,9) | let @" . i . " = '' | endfor"
(Yes, I know neither of those will work and are probably
syntactically incorrect as well.) If that was his conclusion from
some statement in the docs, then his conclusion was incorrect.
Regards,
Gary
