Here's another question:

Given a file containing

foo dir foo
bar dir bar

,x/[^a-z]dir[^a-z]/s/dir/path/  yields

foo path foo
bar path bar

and leaves "r path" in the last line selected.  That's odd, because
running ,x/[^a-z]dir[^a-z]/p leaves " dir " selected, and then running
s/dir/path leaves " path " selected, as I would have expected.
