How many people do you think would be capable of making such changes?

At least I know programming, unlike some poor soul on a list who
was telling me that his 'Object Class' should act like a language native
array because his documentation said so. I asked how he told
the language-translator that his Object should be treated as though
it was derived from the native array implementation. He said his
documentation should be all that was necessary.

So if I write that gvim already has this feature because my .vim
file's documentation says so, do ya suppose it will automatically
appear? :-)


As far as me making changes in vim, it would be easier for me to
write a module plugin for the linux kernel that I could load &
unload. Does vim have such a compiled plugin system with which
the windowing API can be called to provide the necessary support?
If so, then maybe your statement is reasonable. But if I have to
know all the internals about what I am adding to, then it seems
that modular extensibility wasn't part of the core design either.

Lack of that would seem to make your statement a bit unrealistic
in a reasonable timeframe.

FWIW, that vim can runtime-load language extensions makes it much
ahead of most sw projects.
