Ok, I have found this: https://github.com/altercation/solarized/issues/102
So this seems a long-standing issue.

Btw, what causes vimCommand to be cleared? I thought it was `:hi clear`.
But if I execute `:hi clear` manually, the highlight group is not cleared:

vim -u NONE
:syntax on
:e ~/.vimrc
:hi clear
:hi vimCommand

It's still linked to Statement. Why is that?
