Feature Request: Enable Quicklook for MacVim filetypes

[themightyoarfish]

When MacVim is configured as the Open With-App for a text file (e.g. .h or .cpp), quicklooking at the files will not work. I don't know much about it, but from what I've read this is because MacVim does not have the appropriate qlGenerator plugins and OSX does not fall back to the default ones. This is quite annoying. Is there a way to make this work? For me it is somewhat essential for a seamless integration with OSX.

I don't see this. I can quicklook all the filetypes I typically open with MacVim.

have you tried http://whomwah.github.io/qlstephen/ ? I'm thinking to add it into MacVim for quicklook of MacVim filetypes.

@splhack I compiled the features/quicklook branch and it appears to work.
