Well, it could go that extra mile, as a extra bonus, since it is
usually doing nothing better (well most commands are all on one line),
to let us automatically start killing the next items lines after we
are finished with the current ones.

Further proof: do a ^Ra^R^R^R^R .
Notice how say three hits are on this line, one on the next, two on
the next next etc. So we are allowed horizontal as well as vertical
movement...
