Adding suffix dependent setup to vi is straight forward.  I have a
shell script in my own 'bin' that uses the suffix to select
initialization commands that are then grafted onto my generic EXINIT
environment variable.  I even set have a function key set up to change
modes in case the suffix guess is wrong.  I think this is in general
preferable to (and less annoying than) embedding the commands in the
source file itself.

Overhead for all this is about 1 CPU second on an 11/780 -- hardly
noticeable unless the load average zooms out of sight.  If I really
wanted, I guess I could hard code it all in C and get the overhead down
even further, but it's not been worth the bother up to now.
