I decided to mess around a little to see if my editors were having any
problems, and I noticed one little point of contention between them.
In Emacs, if I ask for help on zippy, it tells me about apropos-zippy
and insert-zippyism.
However, if I do :help zippy in vim, it tells me there is no help for
zippy!
That's not very nice.
Well, I suppose it is true, though.
