OK.  I think Greg's basic point is correct, I just (over?)reacted to
the suggestion that *if* people do have trouble, telling them to
change expectations will have a useful effect.  Emacs advocates do
that *far* too much, and the only effect it has that I know of is to
increase the ranks of vi users.  (Does perl have %i?<wink>)
