Excuse me, but you are absolutely wrong about that! Have you any links to
support your claims?
I just asked for confirmation (although I was sure but I did it anyways),
Tony Mechelynck and Bram Moolenar and they both answered me that this is a
bad practice and should be avoided. Actually Tony answered me, that the most
sane solution is to source mswin.vim which offers a more nice environment.
