I'll consider it, but I've kinda got used to it the way it is - I guess
it would make more sense if the cursor was a line between chars, rather
than a highlighted block.

only because it seems better to me to use the explicit version as it
will do things like:

(vector (gh 1) 0 0)

wheras the quoted version won't evaluate functions

to the bug list - feature requests also.
