OS X 10.7 Lion - MacVim full screen animation doesn't look right

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When you enter MacVim full screen mode in Lion, the animation looks much 
different compared to other fullscreen applications like Numbers.

The default animation looked horrible -- it stretched the text and there was an 
ugly flicker as the view resized so I had to come up with another animation.  I 
settled on the simplest animation that did not look absolutely appalling.

Due to the way the drawing code in MacVim works right now it is pretty much 
impossible to make this look good.  It will require a new renderer, which is 
something I am thinking about right now.  Once that is done I will revisit this 
issue.

Some other Lion apps (eg. Byword) are also implementing the same animation to 
full-screen used in MacVim. I myself find the fade-out, fade-in animation much 
more pleasant than the default that Safari or Numbers uses, and I'd wish to 
keep MacVim the way it is right now.

On second thought, I agree. It looks fine.
