The ``:syntax on'' command usually can figure out the language from the
file name, or the ``#!/usr/bin/perl'' or whatever at the top of the file.
I usually leave it off because I find the underlining or colors
distracting, but it's invaluable to find nagging missing quotes.

You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a
reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating
the very phrases which our founding fathers used in the struggle for
independence.
