I wouldn't know, since it doesn't take much for me to re-edit a line
and press 'v' to have it in an editor which I've found is usually the
prudent thing to do, since I can start a more comfortable editor and not
risk losing everything in the re-edit buff due to a misplaced quote among
other reasons.
The main reason is about what may be useful and the difficulty in
supporting a ton of small ranges accommodating the rest of Unicode's
alpha-numerics, or not having to worry about ranges so much as just
proper quoting for the, relative, handful of meta characters needing it.
