Vim: Don't prepend to runtimepath Recommend appending, instead of prepending, paths to `runtimepath`. Vim uses the first directory in the 'runtimepath' option for some special uses, such as the location of the .netrwhist file.[1] Prepending these paths to `runtimepath` may result in unwanted file creation in those directories, leading to annoying untracked files in your workdir. It should be safe to append these paths instead, assuming other scripts for these file types aren't appended first. Alternatively, we could add files like .netrwhist to .gitignore, but then developers would lose global Vim history when removing their workdir, which is weird.
