i was actually trying to do something slightly different;
my original command was:
,x/^[ \t]*let.*/v/in$/a/ in/
and i worked around it by doing
,x/^[ \t]let.*\n/v/in\n/x/\n/i/ in/
which wasn't too bad. i just wondered
if the behaviour i saw was actually a bug,
as $ matches the null string at the end of a line,
and i was matching against the null string at the end
of a line. i think i understand why it doesn't work;
but should it work differently?
