also been recommended in the GPRS with GSM Multiplexing and GUI subsection
on the wiki.  What happens in a real-world scenario is people trying to use
vi on the phone's tiny screen estate, standing around wifi hotspots, if they
know they have to change init() to _init().  Finding line 82 is very
difficult unless you are a vi wizard.  The tiny letters on the keyboard (and
that's hoping it is raster's kbd, not the original one) make it even worse.
