Neovim packages setup

I have to say that although I like a lot of stuf around neovim, it does seem to me that the packages domain gets too complicated for its own good.

This came home to me when I started reinstalling an OpenBSD system, and realised I couldn’t remember what the packer incantations were to get the relevant packages installed.

Well, eventually I might go away from this stuff again, but for now, the relevant stuff is:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim \
    ~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/packer/start/packer.nvim

(note, this link helpful: https://bryankegley.me/posts/nvim-getting-started/)

Then in neovim, some combination of:

:PackerInstall
:PackerSync
:PackerUpdate
:PackerStatus

And it shows the relevant packages have been installed…
