move this content to ftdetect/filetype.vim?

[Freed-Wu]

in plugin/templates.vim

" Syntax autocommands {{{1
"
" Enable the vim-template syntax for template files
" Usually we'd put this in the ftdetect folder, but because
" g:templates_name_prefix doesn't get defined early enough we have to add the
" template detection from the plugin itself
execute "au BufNewFile,BufRead " . g:templates_name_prefix . "* "
			\. "let b:vim_template_subtype = &filetype | "
			\. "set ft=vim-template"
blabla

i recommend move these lines to ftdetect/filetype.vim. because if user use some plugin manager to lazy load this plugin, such as

	call dein#add('aperezdc/vim-template', {
				\ 'on_cmd': ['Template', 'TemplateHere'],
				\ })

plugin/templates.vim will be sourced after :Template. if user open a template, these autocmd will not be source.

thanks!

Unfortunately, these lines can't be moved to ftdetect/vim-template.vim without modification, since they use configuration variables, which are placed in vimrc, but vimrc is loaded after ftdetect/*, and therefore these variables are not available in ftdetect/*. Maybe there is a tricky way to perform this, but I don't know any

Some ways that came to my mind are either to move configuration into a place where they are available in ftdetect/*, or to remove this configuration at all. Both of these ways will beak backward compatibility, so they are very undesirable
