[vile] Rectangular fiddling

[Paul van Tilburg]

Hello all,

This week I discovered that vile could do more with rectangular
selections than I had previously assumed.  Seeing vim-users doing all
kind of useful tricks, I investigated what vile could do.  I have some
observations and I am interested in your thoughts about them.

* If one uses `c' followed by a rectangular selection, vile queries for
  a string to fill it with.  If the string is shorter than the width
  of the selection, the rest is filled with NULL-chars instead of
  spaces.  Is this a feature or a bug?

* It would be useful to be able to prefix a rectagular selection
  or postfix it similar to `A' and `I' for one line.
  I was looking at: 
  http://jvi.sourceforge.net/javahelpset/jvi-vis_block.html
  and saw that vile could do most of it too, except I couldn't find how
  I could prefix/postfix.

Regards,
Paul
