Request: Treat ".emacs" files as Lisp code by default

[Andrew Pennebaker]

Emacs kindly treats ".vimrc" files as VimScript. It would be nice if Vim reciprocated, treating ".emacs" files as Lisp code.

This is helpful when temporarily switching to a different editor to fix configuration, or when editing files on computers where emacs and/or vim are not yet installed.

It does, at least in Vim 7.4.283. You can see this by searching
$VIMRUNTIME/filetype.vim for ".emacs" and you can verify it as
follows.

$ vim .emacs
:set ft?
filetype=lisp
