Doug, unfortunately I'm not familiar with git and all that.
That's actually why I was glad to read that it's possible to
provide contributions informally.

You can of course send me your improvements so that I
can fix it on my side. Would that be okay?
Or else provide me with the concrete information what I
have to do for a "pull request"; presuming it's just two or
three standard git commands.

Thanks,
Janis

Yes, but I have a few small improvements to suggest.

Would you be able to create a pull request for the addition against
the GitHub repo at https://github.com/vim/vim ?

Thanks,
Doug
