Problem = Suppose you have a `.vim/ftplugin/some_language.vim` is like this: ```viml ... let g:some_variable = "foo" ... ``` And you want to overwrite `g:some_variable` with a local `.vimrc`: ```viml autocmd FileType some_language let g:some_variable = "bar" ``` But this doesn't work because the current local-vimrc `source`-es `.vimrc`s **only on `VimEnter`. While files in `.vim/ftplugin/` are `source`-ed on **every `BufNewFile,BufReadPost`**. So it seems that we should have some way to source local `.vimrc`-s after `ftplugin`-s! Solution = I added another configuration called `overwriter_names`, with which we can choose files `source`-ed every time. I agree that it's also okay to make this plugin to `SourceLocalVimrc` on `BufNewFile,BufReadPost` instead. But I'm concerned with performance and compatibility. So please tell me your idea.
