    This tests may fail on implementations that adhere to POSIX 1003.2b vi
    behavior.

    The test assertions does not reflect historical practice.
    Historically, following commands were not repeated by . (dot).

    :substitute
    :global
    :delete
    :copy
    :join
    :move
    :recover
    :undo
    :put
    :read
    :>
    :<
    :&
    u
    U
    &

    and, in version SVR4.0 or SVR4.2, following commands were not repeated
    by . (dot).

    p (few words, not lines)
    P (few words, not lines)

    We request a waiver allowing historical behaviour.
    Following systems (and may be another systems) has same problem.

    Test Output
    Assertion #139 (C): count . command
    Note: The testing requirements include testing for the dot
    <LC> and
    ampersand commands. This violates historical practice and
    <LC> is
    expected to change in a future revision of POSIX.2, but it
    remains a normative requirement of the current standard.
