There is already such an addon for vim -- and it launches
it from the system-standard location.
Putting a copy in /usr/local won't be called. If you want to
replace the main copy and all it's purposes/uses, you need to overwrite
the system copy.

Why would you install a system copy of vim anywhere other
than in the system location? To install it in /usr/local would
prevent it from working normally -- why would anyone do that?
