    Same for 5.6 releases but it's at least gone in the 6.0.61
    (maybe in all 6.0.x releases) release. The more critical point
    is that the filename is saved in the .viminfo file and if you
    open it in an older release vim will segfault until you
    remove the entry from the file.

    I wish life had multiple save points like games do. It'd be easier
    to go back and fix major screwups. I'd just have to make sure I
    'save' every five minutes.
