I've used the chording support in sam without incident (which, of
course, proves nothing about race conditions), but I should warn that
it does two things that annoy me, given that I'm used to the Acme way:

- B!-2-3 (cut + paste) makes a clean file dirty

- you can't double click to select a word and then chord the resulting selection

I haven't looked closely at the problems, but my intuition says that
they're both hard, given the sam/samterm split.
