[9fans] Sam: Why is it not possible to loop over zeroxed windows?

Suppose I have one window opened, and it has a single zeroxed clone
of it. If I run X +#1, I'd expect it to move the cursor in both
windows. Instead, it only touches one of them.

Acme does just the same.

Is there any particular reason it works this way?

A note on why it could be useful. Basically, it's modern multi-cursor
editing. One cursor = one Zerox. The main usefulnes is it replaces
delicate x// y// commands with more interactive cursoring around.

It's even more powerful than modern editing, since it's backed by
regular expressions, not just keyboard input.

I would look at the source code as to why it works that way...

As to precisely where to look, I am uncertain.
