Option to not load Rails.vim

[avdgaag]

Rails.vim is awesome, but it is currently activated for any project with a config/environment.rb. A Lotus project also has a config/environment.rb, so rails.vim will activate for it — but being a different framework most functionality mostly doesn't work or simply doesn't make sense. Rake.vim is great, but if I want to make a custom Vim plugin for working with Lotus projects and their conventions, I would need a way to not activate Rails.vim at all (and preferably keep Rake.vim).

Here's some strategies I can think of:

1. Change the detection of Rails apps to something more sophisticated, such as detecting gem "rails" in ./Gemfile.
2. Adding a global Vim configuration you can put in your ~/.vimrc to skip loading Rails.vim for certain paths.
3. Adding a do_not_load_rails_vim setting in a project-specific vimrc file.
4. Uninstall Rails.vim altogether and re-install when switching to a Rails project where you do need it.

To me these all sound equally bad. Is there any way to accomplish this, that I am unaware of? Any thoughts on the matter?

I think I would be okay with an additional static check (i.e., no Gemfile parsing malarky). Perhaps the presence of an app/ directory?

An app/ directory would certainly fix my particular use case (since Lotus uses an apps/ directory instead), but I feel like it may only be a minor improvement over detecting config/environment.rb. I can imagine a Sinatra application having the latter but not the former, so this wouldn't help there — but that's mere conjecture, and I cannot think of a better test. So let's go for it.

Do you want me to take a stab at implementing this, or would it be quicker to do it yourself?

Awesome, thanks.
