*I* don't want to be required to use an external editor. Especially
when it comes down to what should be trivial to implement options.

Right, so they're not *really* there, which may be the desired output.

Are they really gone? Does anybody know FOR SURE? If you hit 'space'
in column 255, you're not sending a 255 character line of spaces, all
generated to suit that one keypress? Just wondering...
