dc Syntax for Vim

I use dc as my primary calculator for day-to-day needs. I use other calculators as well, but I try to largely stick to dc for two reasons - I was raised on postfix (HP 41CX, to be exact) and I'm pretty much guaranteed to find dc on any *nix machine I happen to come across. Recently, however, I've been expanding my horizons, experimenting with dc as a programming environment, something safe and comfortable to use as a mental exercise. All of that is another post for another day, however - right now I want to discuss writing a dc syntax definition for vim.

A while back, I tested and reviewed a slew of text editors for the Mac. Since then, I had primarily stuck with two editors - CotEditor for the stripped-down HTML of these blog posts, and TextWrangler for more serious coding. In my past, I'd made a point of learning Vi(m) for a handful of reasons:

Need for a powerful text editor to quickly make edits from CLI
Inclusion of Vi(m) is a requirement for POSIX-compliance
Same as above, but more specifically, re: SSH
Emacs sucks
