Well, I've tried this version, and I like some of what it does (except
it is a little buggy, and required some massaging to get it to load,
but it still handles words incorrectly, IMHO. To elaborate (using the
notation of a previous poster) if I type w in vi the cursor will move
as follows:

	return number;
	X      X     X
	}
	X
	var = 2;
	X   X XX
in the new vip, we get (I know, coz I'm using it to write this):

	return number;
	       X     X
	}
	var = 2;
	    X  X

I know this may seem trivial, but it drives me bats. I think the new
vip could be coerced into this behaviour, since it doesn't rely on
forward-word.
