[30% good taste and 70% common sense?]:
zap-to-char (ESC Z) should zap even if you are sitting on top of the
victim character.

Don't you hate this situation:

Line:       also i'm trying to list yellow pages security concerns
Cursor:     ^

"I wan't to kill up to `yellow`", so ESC Z y
and we have:

Line:       ying to list yellow pages security concerns
Cursor:     ^

"Oh, need to do it again, that's cool, no problem", ESC Z y
and we have:

Line:       ying to list yellow pages security concerns
Cursor:     ^

"Blast, rrrrrrrr, I need an ^D ESC Z y"
