Setting "-u NONE -i NONE -N" is all that's needed. See ":help -u".
When {vimrc} is equal to "NONE" (all uppercase), all
initializations from files and environment variables are
skipped, including reading the |gvimrc| file when the GUI
starts. Loading plugins is also skipped.
The viminfo file may be empty initially, but it probably is not once
vim has been run.
