    Problem Text
    The tests may fail on implementations that adhere to historic
    practice and set the current line to the last of the moved lines.
    The POSIX.2b draft reinstates the historic behavior.

    The test assertions listed test an area of POSIX.2 which does not reflect
    historical practice. The draft POISX.2b standard more closely documents
    the behaviour of historical implementation of Ex and Vi.

    Historically, :move set the current line to the last of the lines moved.
    The correct behaviour is described in POSIX.2b draft.11 section 5.10.7.5.16
    page 152 line 1248.

    Our implementation conforms to the draft POSIX.2b standard which mandates
    this historical practice. Since this area of the specification is subject
    to change, we request a temporary interpretation allowing historical practice.
