Move 'hlsearch' insert-mode suspension into plugin
It's easily repackaged and it makes the configuration that much shorter, so I may as well. This version also correctly handles 'hlsearch' not being on in the first place.

+*insert_suspend_hlsearch.txt* For Vim version 7.0 Last change: 2017 November 12
+
+DESCRIPTION *insert_suspend_hlsearch*
+
+This plugin quietly disables 'hlsearch' search highlighting if enabled when an
+insert operation is started, and puts it back once done, to avoid the
+distracting effect the highlighting can cause while writing.
+
+REQUIREMENTS *insert_suspend_hlsearch-requirements*
+
+This plugin is only available if 'compatible' is not set.
+
+AUTHOR *insert_suspend_hlsearch-author*
+
+Written and maintained by Tom Ryder <tom@sanctum.geek.nz>.
+
+LICENSE *insert_suspend_hlsearch-license*
+
+Licensed for distribution under the same terms as Vim itself (see |license|).
+
+DISTRIBUTION *insert_suspend_hlsearch-distribution*
+
+This plugin lives in Tom Ryder's "dotfiles" suite, and may eventually be spun
+off into a separate distribution as it solidifies and this documentation
+improves. See <https://sanctum.geek.nz/cgit/dotfiles.git/about/> for more
+information.
