Vim koan:

> A Markdown acolyte came to Master Wq to demonstrate his Vim plugin.

> “See, master,” he said, “I have nearly finished the Vim macros that translate Markdown into HTML. My functions interweave, my parser is a paragon of efficiency, and the results nearly flawless. I daresay I have mastered Vimscript, and my work will validate Vim as a modern editor for the enlightened developer! Have I done rightly?”

> Master Wq read the acolyte’s code for several minutes without saying anything. Then he opened a Markdown document, and typed:

> > :%!markdown

> HTML filled the buffer instantly. The acolyte began to cry.
