OK, I see that the intended semantics of the word "ever" is as a synonym
of "always". I wasn't clear on that.

I would strongly advise using "always" instead. "Ever" in modern English
is a negative-polarity word, which means you can't say "Vim should
_ever_ load this plugin". You're limited to stating a negative ("Vim
shouldn't ever...") or positing a conditional ("if Vim should ever...")
or asking a question ("should Vim ever...?"), and maybe a few other uses
I can't think of right now.

"Vim should _always_ load this plugin" is fine.
