secure, user-configurable modeline support for {neo,}vim

vim's internal modeline support allows all sorts of annoying and potentially insecure options to be set. this script implements a much more heavily restricted modeline parser that permits only user-specified options to be set.

the g:secure_modelines_allowed_items array contains allowable options. by default it is set as follows:

let g:secure_modelines_allowed_items = [
	\ "textwidth",   "tw",
	\ "softtabstop", "sts",
	\ "tabstop",     "ts",
	\ "shiftwidth",  "sw",
	\ "expandtab",   "et",   "noexpandtab", "noet",
	\ "filetype",    "ft",
	\ "foldmethod",  "fdm",
	\ "readonly",    "ro",   "noreadonly", "noro",
	\ "rightleft",   "rl",   "norightleft", "norl",
	\ "cindent",     "cin",  "nocindent", "nocin",
	\ "smartindent", "si",   "nosmartindent", "nosi",
	\ "autoindent",  "ai",   "noautoindent", "noai",
	\ "spell", "nospell",
	\ "spelllang",
	\ "wrap", "nowrap",
	\ "syntax"
\ ]

the g:secure_modelines_verbose option, if set to something true, will make the script warn when a modeline attempts to set any other option.

the g:secure_modelines_modelines option overrides the number of lines to check. By default it is 5.

if g:secure_modelines_leave_modeline is defined, the script will not clobber &modeline. Otherwise &modeline will be unset.
