Netrw header toggling with vim-vinegar

vim-vinegar is a vim plugin that "cleans up" Netrw as-

an attempt to mitigate the need for more disruptive "project drawer" style plugins

but it turns off the Netrw header, which, while unnecessary is the second most charming feature of vim.

To reclaim your Netrw header, use I while in Netrw.

As a vim-vinegar bonus, use - while in a buffer to open Netrw in the directory of the current buffer.

Having rapid directory access available changes everything

All quotes are from the the vim-vinegar README. Thank you to Vidal for the hat tip about I.
