Frank Fischer added https://bitbucket.org/lyro/evil/commits/a1ce5b51471d which
makes the selection restore properly if I use `:move` as a command, but when I
use it programmatically as in the original function it still expands the
selection instead.

One more issue I noticed:

The operator as defined does not create a new undo step (or whatever it is
called) and instead appends to the last thing I actually did. Is there something
I need to do for that?
