True, but when you press ":" we can only either use '< or `<. That
could depend on being on Visual block mode, but many commands that
ignore the column position just work with line numbers. If we want them
to work on what was actually selected we would need something else than
the different quote. Otherwise too many things break. Perhaps a
":block" modifier.
I actually have ' mapped to `, thus for me '< and `< do the same thing.
The backtick is a bit hard to type.
It's not going to be completely consistent without breaking backwards
compatibility at the same time.
