In Memoriam

This project is only possible because of the incredible work of Bram Moolenaar, the creator of vim. His passing marks the loss of a world class hacker, and an amazing leader both in open source projects and in humanitarian aid with ICCF Holland. It is with a heavy heart that we dedicate this project to his memory.
