All right, with the bindings it works, but if it cannot find the
database, it crashes too.

And this slows by 5 times the startup time of vim for me:

vim -c 'quit'  0.47s user 0.02s system 99% cpu 0.501 total
vim -c 'quit'  0.08s user 0.01s system 96% cpu 0.092 total

It is interesting, but I personally I would not use if it's going to
slow vim for everything else, there must be a way to solve that. Also,
would be nice if you rebased your branch on top of the latest release.

Cheers.
