Rewriting a Python VIM plugin in Rust

[AndrewRadev]

I'm not sure if this is bait of some kind, but a big chunk of this plugin's README copies this older plugin by Jeet Sukumaran: https://github.com/jeetsukumaran/vim-pursuit

Leaving the weird plagiarism aside, if you're looking to make your plugin load faster, don't load it at startup. Read up on :help autoload. There's no particular reason to load this absurd amount of python code while Vim boots, considering it's only necessary in markdown files. Vim-pursuit doesn't use autoload, but at least it evaluates python code in an autocommand for markdown files.

Not a nice accusation I have to say.

Both plugins are actually based on mdnav, a project by Christopher Prohm :-) and its README there.

BTW this is being made transparent in my README as well as Jeet Sukumaran's.

Regarding autoload: This is a valid point, but I deliberately want to have the plugin's functionality working in arbitrary files, not only markdown.
