Early in Vim's life I had emailed Moolenaar to suggest that
vim emulate nvi's behavior for the '.' command, at least as an
option. He declined to do so and I continued using nvi.
Rapidly switching undo/redo direction in vim with e.g.
uuu^R^R^Ruu^R^R is much harder on my left thumb (& brain) than
vi's u..u..u.u. May be because reversing direction == u turn!
