   Your other comments seem fine, but I will have to challenge you on this.   
   I am very skilled at macros and have found no compatibility issues. My   
   macroset to play Conway's Game of Life in vi was written on Sun   
   workstation with the Solaris vi and it ships with vim as a macro   
   example. Still working. (I am told neovim breaks it, but I don't use   
   that fork.)
