-First of all, it should be possible to use Vim as a drop-in replacement for

-Exceptions:
-- We don't reproduce obvious Vi bugs in Vim.
-- There are different versions of Vi. I am using Version 3.7 (6/7/85) as a

-- Vim adds new commands, you cannot rely on some command to fail because it
- didn't exist in Vi.
-- Vim will have a lot of features that Vi doesn't have. Going back from Vim
