I wonder if there is a File.join equivalent for vim.
source a 'config.vim' instead of individual files

this can be used to source down-tree stuff (settings, language configurations, etc)
import global configuration from old configs
re-organize and clean up global settings/mappings/etc.
add <space> to end of nerdtree binding
import user-specific settings from old config
