I seem to have a problem with my local Vim configuration but I'm not sure what it is. I need to override some filetype-specific settings. As per multiple tutorials/howtos, I created ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/cpp.vim with appropriate setlocal statements, but it seems not to be read. I checked that ~/.vim/after is in runtimepath.
I worked around this with autocmd FileType cpp setlocal ... in ~/.vimrc, but that is beyond the point. Any advice on how to diagnose/fix this? Or am I just overlooking something obvious?
