   That's actually one central design principle of Vi (and successors).   
   You have all sorts of movement commands and you have some operators   
   (d, y, c, <, >). What you see with commands like 'd1G' is just a   
   composition of the 'd' operator with a '1G' movement.   
   This composition is one aspect why Vi, Vim, etc. are so powerful.
