Bug Description
While scouring the net for info on curious lag in vim that can eat keystrokes
(devastating over a laggy link, which is one of the primary situations where
vim is useful), every conversation pointed me to `:help ttm`, which says:
A useful setting would be
:set timeout timeoutlen=3000 ttimeoutlen=100
(time out on mapping after three seconds, time out on key codes after a
tenth of a second).
So it appears that insead of putting the correct defaults in as the defaults,
vim chose to bury the information deep inside the documentation.
As a distro packaging vim, we have an opportunity to fix this.
