The useful command :r!date is not so useful in gVim for Windows (not cygwin's gVim) because Windows has its own date function which does not do what I want. so, something like :r!c:\cygwin\bin\date would be great. But that's a lot to type. And considering that I might want to call a few things this way, it would be nice to write a f...
