And I added the speed emulation, because I was tasked to represent
ed(1) in a "Editor Celebrity Death-Match" in the danish unix users
group, and wanted to show my "slides" in ed(1) as well as prove that
it was a usable editor across a 300 bps line.

If I had bribed the convincingly female judges, as much as the rest
of the "celebrities" who defended other editors, I might even have
won :-)
