Is there a way to view the list of recent documents you've opened in Vim? I realize I could view the cursor jump list, :ju, and then go to a cursor position in the list but this is not ideal because there will be multiple listings of the same document in the list. Is there another command which would do what I'm looking for?

The Most Recently Used (MRU) plugin provides an easy access to a list of recently opened/edited files in Vim. This plugin automatically stores the file names as you open/edit them in Vim.

That works nicely. I guess I'm surprised to learn a plugin is necessary.
