Functions starting with uppercase letter

[dsawardekar]

@luke-gru Is there a way to create riml function equivalent to Vim's uppercased function. I'm not sure there is a scope name for it. Basically the equivalent of the following function,

function! MyFunction()
endfunction

The generated code if I try to compile this with riml has the default scope specifier like s:MyFunction.

I was doing some preliminary work on a Syntastic plugin for riml. The Syntastic api relies on these type of functions which appear to work like global scoped functions.

function! SyntaxCheckers_riml_riml_IsAvailable()
endfunction

They are used like callbacks by Syntastic. Is there a way of writing this without resorting to a :function workaround?

Thanks.

Hey, there is actually :) You can use the n: scope modifier, and this will leave off the scope modifier in the compiled output. This works for all constructs that take a scope modifier (functions, variables of all kinds).

Nice! I knew I was missing something.
