Yes, I've already understand you in your last mail.
optional feature -> #ifdef FEAT_RELATIVENUMBER -> +-relativenumber
But I think that wouldn't beautify the source code and would be overhead for
just a single option.
Currently I use exists("&rnu") to be able to use the self-compiled and the
distribution (well, Gentoo, also self-compiled) Vim.
