+There is one way to use both legacy and Vim9 syntax in one script file: >

+This allows for writing a script that takes advantage of the Vim9 script
+syntax if possible, but will also work on an Vim version without it.

+This can only work in two ways:
+1. The "if" statement evaluates to false, the commands up to `endif` are
+   skipped and `vim9script` is then the first command actually executed.
+2. The "if" statement evaluates to true, the commands up to `endif` are
+   executed and `finish` bails out before reaching `vim9script`.

+TODO: The "vim9script" feature does not exist yet, it will only be added once
+the Vim9 script syntax has been fully implemented.
