" This just turns on per-filetype plugins.  Vim ships with file
" indentation/plugin/syntax rules for highlighting. The highlighting
" is nice. Sometimes the indentation is a bit annoying though because
" it REINDENTS my stupid code when I didn't want it to.  It's annoying
" to track down why it's doing that...
