It would be nice if there were Ex options for number and relative number. |

How about using a global macro? For example: The reason why such option doesn't exist is because it has no merit in Ex as it only affects vi. |

As of latest, # is no longer a special path expansion character, therefore the correct command is: Just so there are no surprises. |

Hm, I suppose there are also options like hlp, which don't really work in ex mode (though they could). I guess it's more so because there is no vi keybind to activate it, or it's not used often enough to warrant one. So basically if there is already a vi keybind to activate something, there is no reason to add an ex option since everything is reachable from a global macro anyways. |
