One thing that might irritate people is that POSIX's version of vi uses
Stream_LF files and even converts variable record length files to this.
A more serious limitation is the lack of a termlib compiler ("tic"), or at
least I can't find one in POSIX 1.1. Some of us search for other editors
to support non-ansi terminals.
