That's the problem: vi tries to get you back into the mode you were in by
pretending you typed 'a' or 'li' or something, without noticing that you
are in append mode already, so that the a or li or lR or whatever ends up
being inserted as text.

Something comparable happens when you ":map r a" and then try to use '~':
if the cursor sits on an 'x' and you type '~', vi pretends that you typed
'rX ', which does the right thing, unless you've :mapped 'r' or ' '.

Morale: don't :map any of "ailru$ \_".
