In the Debian distro of VIM, this feature of reading the embedded
settings (modelines) is turned off by default. In
/usr/share/doc/vim/README.Debian, it states that it's turned off for
security reasons, but suggests that you can turn it on in your personal
.vimrc . I have not done so yet. Is it advisable to turn it on?
