Can I enable Netrw after `vim -u NONE`?

Can I load netrw after loading Vim with vim -u NONE?.

I've considered statements such as

:set nocp
:set filetype on
:set filetype plugin on
:let g:loaded_netrw=1
:let g:loaded_netrwPlugin=1
:h netrw-start

I realize I could make for instance some ~/.minimal-vimrc-netrw, but wondering if there's a way to enable "manually".

Putting

let g:loaded_netrw=1

in your .vimrc tells netrw.vim not to load as its been loaded already. Of course, it hasn't been loaded -- but that statement is telling netrw.vim not to load (ie. finish early).

Likewise, putting

let g:loaded_netrwPlugin=1

is telling netrwPlugin.vim not to load.

As an alternative,btw, to the runtime call: you may useso $HOME/.vim/plugin/netrwPlugin.vim (or use vimfiles if you're on windows). The runtime call uses a search on the runtimepath (which is probably better, but just thought I'd point this out).

Run

runtime plugin/netrwPlugin.vim

This will search for the first instance of plugin/netrwPlugin.vim in your runtime path and source the file.
