Except, of course, if someone has redefined "a" / "A" in vicmd to the
widget delete-all-my-files-and-self-detonate. Like the viins / vicmd
repeat thing you commented on, this is fundamental to the limitations of
the vi change buffer. A partial fix might be to use tokens (and so
tokenise & metafy the vi change buffer), but I think this can of worms
is somewhat larger than that.
