Right; I always forget that my own /root/.vimrc is a symlink to
/home/tonymec/.vimrc, giving my non-root username ownership over the
file (of course, root can edit anything), and starting Vim with exactly
the same settings regardless of whether I'm running it as root or as my
personal non-root username.
