looked but cannot, of course, now find the reference. :-)  LeForgeron (I think)
posted an image / chart depicting his setup.  I use the below in my '~/.vimrc',
which is based on / derived from that "tip".  my "workflow" when writing scene
code is to occasionally do a ":make" to confirm there are no typos etc, ie am at
that point only interested in the parsing; for that I have a dedicated
"one-liner" shell script, "povparse", also below.  workflows are v individual,
but LeForgeron's "method" works for me.


regards, jr.
