Anybody have any hints as to how I can map ^Z in my elvis.rc file?
When elvis reads the file it considers the ^Z to be EOF (welcome to
1981) and terminates its reading of the file.  So, the map command
and everything after it is never read.

I've tried prefixing the ^Z with a ^V but I really didn't expect it
to work since this kind of operation is hardwired into the C runtime.

Any ideas anybody?
