Thanks! I hope this patch will be included.
So, when on a closed fold, :@{register} currently behaves like an Ex
command that accepts a range as explained in doc/fold.txt:
For Ex commands the range is adjusted to always start at the first
line of a closed fold and end at the last line of a closed fold.
But since :@ does not actually do anything with the range, this is
unexpected and inappropriate.
Personally, I would prefer that :@{register} did not operate on ranges.
That is the future feature in ":help :@" should be scrapped:
{Vi: only in some versions} Future: Will execute the register for
each line in the address range.
I use :@{register} a lot to run small snippets of VimScript instead of
sourcing a file or putting them into functions. It rarely makes sense to
execute such scripts for each line in a range.
