   Actually, multiple undos are a sort of side effect.  Both multiple and
   vi style will be in my next bunch.  I've even added undoable undos.

You are VI fixated.  He is complementing the fact that Readline has
multiple undos.  For those who don't know, Jeff wrote the bulk of the
vi mode.

This is simply false.  The cursor moves to the end of the line in
emacs mode.  Perhaps it doesn't do this in vi-mode?
