Interesting, and actually a good idea.  Cutting a line puts you back at 
the beginning of the line anyway, so if you uncut at the beginning of 
another line the effect is the same.   However if you wanted to uncut in 
the middle of a line you can.  I imagine there will be some complaints 
about it because some people hate change more than me :->
