Let me take this opportunity to try once again to drum up support
for an idea that I have proposed before. IMO it is too restrictive to
make options (such as syntax highlighting, 'textwidth', and
indent-related options) apply to a whole file. There should be a
convenient, consistent way to tell vim to treat different sections of a
file as having different file types. Examples:
* code snippets in an e-mail
* PHP in an HTML file (or vice-versa)
* perl/python/ruby inside a vim script
* comments, text, and math inside LaTeX/plain TeX/conTeXt
