Vim's 400 line function to wait for keyboard input

Right. So you recommend neovim, which is good, except that it won't install -- not on some unused OS, but on OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). Now I know that's a little behind, but really? Beautiful code that won't work on a 2010 OS is just awesome.

As an aside, I think it's a growing problem that the formulae in Homebrew are not updated to support 10.6.8.

And Vim? It just works. Maybe it's all those #ifdefs that make the code look ugly...

Do Apple supply security updates for Snow Leopard still?

Apple doesn't even supply security updates for 10.9 anymore.

So the OS is EOL. In that case why should 3rd party software go out its way to support it?
