   And one more thing...   
      
   It seems nf is buffer-local, so setting it while in one buffer does not   
   change it globally.  Setting it in .vimrc does set it globally (which makes   
   sense, since no other buffers exist at that point - and they all inherit   
   the value).   
      
   I get why this is the way it works, but am curious if there is a way to set   
   it globally (without exiting and re-starting VIM, of course).  I have lots   
   of windows and buffers open and don't want to re-start.   
      
   I read "help :set" and it covers a lot, but didn't see anything   
   specifically on this topic.
