Hrrm, I don't know if we should be using the 'after' dir for default
plugins installed by pacman. It seem like these actually belong in
/usr/share/vim/vimfiles/plugin/. The after directory has a special
purpose, and none of the plugins I can think of seem to fit that
purpose. At least, it doesn't seem valid to use the after dir as a
general rule.
