Thank you, the very day I sent the mail people on IRC showed me an
example of how this can look as a plugin (basically, copy all the
information regarding that into a plugin and put it under the guard),
just as you suggested. So, I ended up with this:

Although with the code above, I have noticed that whenever I run gvim,
neither vimrc nor gvimrc get sourced when I edit gvimrc, but both get
sourced if I edit vimrc. With terminal vim it's the same -- if I edit
vimrc, it gets sourced (and only it, since it's terminal vim), if I edit
gvimrc, nothing gets sourced. So, I suspect there is some issue with
> autocmd BufWritePost $MYGVIMRC call s:ReloadRC()
, looks like the condition is not getting triggered, or I don't
understand something.
