This whole conversation is ridiculous. Do we really want a syntax that's worse just to satisfy the 1/10,000 cases* where someone will be using ed or notepad? Correct Answer: no. * Probably less, as I use vim many_times_a_day * many_days_a_year - and even less if we consider that no-one'll be doing as much coding in an hour of ed as in an hour of <better_editor>
