I would only add that you can spare yourself the "syntax on" and "filetype on" lines if these are already your defaults and just add the new to-be-highlighted extensions with the "au" line.

Now I am powerless without it. It's amazing how feature-rich the text editor is. I still learn new VIM tricks 3-4 times a month. I used to hate VIM when I first started programming.
