Heh, no. I would consider that highly unlikely, almost impossible case (and my
reasoning about great complexity to solve this likely niche use case would mean
WF). Additionally - remembering such things in a *text flow*, i.e. when any
insertion above could change this, would make such a memory unreliable (the
lines shuffled since then - you'll agree that this is relatively common, right?
But I can of course be mistaken wrt how common this could be.
