I tried verifying it with vi which I got from http://ex-vi.sourceforge.net/.
Either I am missing something or the original vi does not include a jump
list implementation.
Regarding making it possible not to change the jump list - I think the
difference between 10G and :10 might indeed be desirable. In this case,
however, do you think it would be a good idea to mention the difference
in documentation? I attached a patch with a proposed modification.
