-This is Emacs for stubborn vimmers and megalomaniacal mice alike. Its goals are:
-first, to emulate vim as best it can, and second, surpass it in any possible
-way. Narf uses [Evil-mode](https://gitorious.org/evil/pages/Home) to emulate
-vim, Cask to manage plugins, and a slew of jury-rigged neckbeard shenanigans to
-keep my mountain dew cool.
