Hi,

this is a snippet or my vimrc:

$ cat .vim/vimrc
source $VIMRUNTIME/defaults.vim
set dir=~/.vim/tmp
set expandtab
set autoindent
iabbrev mydate <C-R>=strftime("%a %d/%m/%Y")
digraph bl 8226 " Insert Bullet with <CTRL>+k bl
map <f5> :1m$<cr>

which sources the default vim system file, which in turn sets
"nocompatible", as expected. So far. so good.

If I start vim with:
$ vim -C somefile

I expect this to turn some features off, for example visual mode with
mouse clicks, but it doesn't. If I manually set "compatible" from the
ex command line, it does turn visual mode off. I assume I could put
this is my vimrc, but I don't want to do this all the time. I could
probably make an alias to:

vim -c "set compatible" somefile

However I wonder if this is intended behaviour or not, that is, I
expected "vim -C" to override vimrc.

My settings:
$ vim --version
