And taught me about it, actually (thanks). Sorry, I did not pay enough
attention at the start of the thread.

Some vi's allow for abbreviations of the form "!c" but will silently
ignore ones with longer strings after the "!". I think Solaris (and then
probably SunOS too) and Irix works this way, while HP-UX and AIX versions
silently ignores both cases.

But tne again, other ways of specifying the behaviour could have been
used.

At this point, I'd mostly concider this a non-issue when it comes to
new commands and behaviours.
