Currently the approach seems to be that a vim script has to create a sane environment on its own. Maybe we should change that paradigm to: When a vim script wants a insane environment it has to create it on its own. That means basically that we change vim to parse each file from $VIMRUNTIME as if it would have been preceded with 'set cpo&vim'. This basically leads to changing cpo from 'global only' to 'script local only'. The advantage seems to be, that vim would actually behave as script maintainers silently expect. Now the question Bram: What do you think about this? If we can't have the above (for what ever reason), can we require that each and every runtimefile has to handle cpo correctly on it's own, please?
