Oh, there is rarely any objection to contributions, that goes without saying.

I was noting that the current behavior is not a bug (since it behaves
as specified) so it doesn't have to be fixed. nor is a change in
behavior necessary (since there is a workaround to the rare "problem")
so it doesn't have to be fixed.  With limited resources there are far
more important things to think about.

I personally don't care if someone changes it (although I think that
going back to line by line operation is a step back into the time when
whole files would not fit in memory, ah hey lets bring back Teco ;-).

Cheers
Lex
