a case/select.

Well, what about

   $r !cat

Does this differ any from just using "append" (":help :a") mode?

  :$a

other than that you end it by typing a lone period on the line instead of with an EOF? (and the cautioned "lines-beginning with a backslash", though if Tao is writing a novel, I expect this is less of a concern...I can't think of many novels I've read that contain back-slashes unless you're also including markup)
