[implementations-list] Early implementation of new VIM-like mode

Wed Jul 1 22:04:00 CEST 2009

Hi Frank, yes, I've seen the default handler stuff (I mean, I've read the
comments XD), I was just suggesting a better default handler for modes other
than different and replace :)
I like your solution so far, I'll try to work a little on it :)
