Yeah!  <HighFive>

It's good value for 5 machine instructions.  Bit of a bummer that it doesn't
fix the vi problem.  Fooey.

And, as Bruce has pointed out, all of the suword family need fixing too.  It
looks like a general writability test macro or subroutine would be useful here.
I'll have a go at this as soon as I get a chance.

Stephen.
