I won't comment on the use of regexen in vi, but I'd love to see a
well thought out design using Perl-style regex syntax. Specifically,
I'd like to see look-behind and look ahead in the regex syntax and
replacement of a matched substring in the CHANGE syntax, e.g.,
RECHANGE /^....(A)/i $1 'B' .f .l ALL
would change LC or UC A in column 5 to B starting with the line
labelled A and ending with the line labelled B.
Even better would be the functionality of NIH Wylbur or SuperWylbur®.

Another feature from XEDIT that I'd like in ISPF is SET PENDING.

FLIP isn't really what you're asking for, but it should serve in at
least some cases.
