Agreed. I think, leaning on my metaphor of natural language, that just like you don't learn how to conjugate every verb form in your first week of Spanish, you don't need to learn every Vim noun or verb right away, but you do want to be learning a system that will make slotting in those new operators natural as you learn them.

Yep, this is similar to what I was considering. I like your ideas for problems, so definitely will be using some of those :)

I like this a lot. Not sure if it would fit with the model I'm imagining, but I'll have to think about it more, since it seems quite useful.
