from a quick look at cmdtbl (in the source), and a quick test, it
looks like you can bind to "quoted-fullline-motion" and get what
you want.   but to get it to work (after binding it to 's', which i
never use), i had to type
    ds<motion>q
instead of 
    ds<motion>s
which is what i think i would have expected.
