I just discovered a great tool that allows me to format my javascript code.  I 
want that tool available for just javascript -- when I switch to a scratch 
buffer, I want default formatting for text.  Unfortunately, formatprg is 
global.  When looking through some of the plugin code in the main vim 
repository, I see people trying to setlocal on it.  Why can't we have setlocal 
on formatprg?

I also see formatexpr, which can be local, but its behavior is very different 
and harder for me to just drop in a program that behaves the same for gq_, 
gqap, etc...  In other words, I have to learn how to use vimscript to set this 
up.  setlocal 
formatexpr=setline(v:lnum,systemlist('myprog',getline(v:lnum,v:count))) is 
close, but not.
