Both VIM and Neovim ship with native ftdetect rules to detect justfiles
and proper syntax highlighting for them. This modline hack is absolete
and actually makes these files less accessible in modern editors.

Nice catch.

Previously, casey has preferred to outright remove outdated suggestions about just support in editors. So instead of warning that using make modeline is bad for current Vim/Neovim, maybe best entirely remove the suggestion about make modeline?

and actually makes these files *less* accessible in modern editors.
Both VIM and Neovim have shipped with native support and for several
releases. This obsolete work around just confuses the issue.

I would support that. In fact I started nuking that section, then restored it when I found some mentions of modern editor support above thinking that might be more controversial than the actual cleanup.

I just removed it entirely.
