(1) vi/ex reading commands from its source files.  I reluctantly have to
	agree that this is a bad idea.  I can see where it would be very
	useful, but I think the dangers outway the advantages.
(2) vi/ex reading .exrc from current directory and home directory:
	This one IS a good idea.  It can take the place of some of the 
	things that (1) was supposed to do.  Different types of files
	often require different configurations.  For example, 
	'autoindent' is very useful when writing a program, but a pain in
	the rear when typing text.  I like the idea of vi being 
	automatically reconfigured for these different tasks.
