As an additional note not especially related to ViM - with '...' and "..." you have 2 kind of strings. But how do you express unicode-strings? Use `...` or something like that?

With the syntax of python that's no problem. cu boesi -- A Achkatz'l ofm Baam des hot a schins Laam braucht keen Pfenng Gald un freit sich of dr Walt
