vis (vi-like editor based on Plan 9's structural regular expressions)

Vis aims to be a modern, legacy free, simple yet efficient editor combining the
strengths of both vi(m) and sam. It extends vi's modal editing with built-in
support for multiple cursors/selections and combines it with sam's structural
regular expression based command language. As an universal editor it has decent
Unicode support and should cope with arbitrary files including: large, binary
or single-line ones.
