I just added a comment on the first line of rc.conf, loader.conf, etc.,
such as:
### rc.conf -- system configuration information
### loader.conf -- system bootstrap configuration information
And vim seems to magically highlight the syntax. If I do 'set filetype',
it tells me 'filetype=conf'. That seems to the trick, but it would have
been nice if tricks weren't necessary, so go for it.
