   2         Vim extended is based on the official Vim from
   3         <a href="http://www.vim.org/">vim.org</a>. It includes various
   4         extensions and features that didn't yet get into the official version
   5         or even won't ever. Most features had been sent as patches to the Vim
   6         mailing list.
