Just leave it out.  The check is so that you can easily disable the standard 
ftplugins.  Since you are loading an 'after' ftplugin, you already expect 
the regular plugin to be loaded, so b:did_ftplugin will always be set.  If 
you are trying to create a method so that your 'after' plugin can be 
disabled, then just change the variable name to something more unique, like 
just b:did_after_ftplugin .
