Yes, this is what I thought. (But is different from what you initially wrote.)

This pertains to the example I gave:

Having

| asdfasdf asdfasdf asdfasdf asdfasdfa asfdsfasdf

where | represents an empty dot at the beginning of a line (line as
drawn in the editor), .+0 does nothing. According to what .+0 should
do, I'd expect it should select the whole line.

Thanks!
