Start Vim and temporarily ignore your .vimrc

To start Vim without looking at your vimrc file:

vim -u NONE

It also works with mvim (I didn’t test with gvim but I assume it works). This also ignores your .vim directory.

I wanted to teach Vim to some people and wanted to temporarily disable my vimrc, so I looked at the man page and found this out.
