Of course.

> TWAJS,

This is prove that vim wins.  TWAJS (entered by `TW + <Ctrl P>')
is not a word that vim recognizes.  Vim is mad.

(Vim is sorry to the rest of the serious Octave community.  Vim
 wants everyone to get back to work.  Steve, on the other hand,
 wants vim to relax and learn how to play pong.)
