Description:

Load `/etc/vimrc.local` so that a sysadmin can customize `vim` for all users.

To accomplish this, please add the following lines to the end of `/etc/vimrc`:

```
if filereadable("/etc/vimrc.local")
source /etc/vimrc.local
endif
```

Without this feature, to customize `vim` for all users, the sysadmin will need to edit `/etc/vimrc`.
The consequence of that action is that every time `vim` is upgraded, an `/etc/vimrc.pacnew` file will be created.
This task depends upon

Incorrect. Please brush up on how pacman deals with .pacnew files [1]. Read especially the section "original = X, current = Y, new = X"
