While investigating an item on the todo list, I found out that the
behaviour of :normal[!] in operator-pending mode is not well-defined: it
is not documented and is not taken special care of in the source.
Consider the following text with the cursor on the first "m":
summer
^
Then consider these commands and the results:
gUe suMMER
:norm! gUe<CR> suMMER
gU:norm! e<CR> suMMEr
gUiw SUMMER
:norm! gUiw<CR> SUMMER
gU:norm! iw<CR> suwmmer
For gU as for all operators the behaviour is strange and inconsistent.
There's a design decision to be made. Two possibilities:
1. :normal[!] stops operator-pending mode, then executes normal mode
commands.
2. :normal[!] takes operator-pending mode into account when it begins
executing normal mode commands.
