log

Sometimes I try a customization/command in my vimrc. Everything seens to be correct, but it just doesn't work.

It's difficult to know what's happening when vim starts, and know which command failed or not, so it's really difficult to debug what can be causing a problem in my vimrc. It's a trial-error approach, which is time consuming and really a PITA. For example, I'm having problems with snipmate plugin in some files and just don't have a clue on how to discover the problem.

Is there a "runtime log" when vim starts, telling which commands it executed, which ones failed and such? This would help me a lot.
