by the way, that's the way emacs with evil-mode handles things right now.

d9j will delete every VISUAL line, and if any of those visual lines are
actually collapsed, the entire set of real lines will be killed in the
process.

Exciting stuff. now we just need that relative line numbers feature out to
be able to shred text in emacs with even more power.

gogo Eli! :)
