You're not overlooking anything.  I tested on a different system and it
worked, when I went back and looked at the original system I see that I
had a type-o on my first test.

~if &geg $term-cols 80

geg vs geq

It didn't kick out an error message, it seems the entire condition was
deemed false. I didn't expect that as I've had vile stop and provide
error messages when failing to parse .vilerc in the past.

Sorry to waste your time on that one :(
