Counts
------

   Some Vi commands which do not accept a count now accept one

`p'
`P'
     Given counts, text will be yanked (in Vi's sense) that many times.
     Thus `3 p' is the same as `p p p'.

`o'
`O'
     Given counts, that many copies of text will be inserted. Thus `o a
     b c <ESC>' will insert 3 lines of `abc' below the current line.

`/'
`?'
     Given a count N, N-th occurrence will be searched.
