They have a mnemonic value too, C-h being backspace and C-j being
linefeed, both would move the printer head the same way the vi key
moved the cursor.  I don't think vertical tab or form feed are
relevant to the corresponding vi keys though, but knowing the meaning
of the two first, it is easy to infer (from position) the two later.
