    Problem Text
    The tests may fail on implementations that adhere to POSIX.2b behavior
    where <count><insertion command> causes the input text to be inserted
    count-1 more times to the end of the input.

    POSIX.2 section 5.35.7.1.45 page 644 lines 5492-5495, correctly documents
    historical behaviour when using a count to append or insert text. However,
    POSIX.2b section 5.35.7.2.43 page 226 lines 3886-3887 and section E.5.35.7.2.43
    page 330 lines 2581-2583 has intentionally changed historical behaviour
    considering it a deficiency, and so improve consistency and user understanding.

    Our implementation conforms to the draft POSIX.2b standard, which
    regularizes the behaviour of Ex/Vi in this area. Since this area of
    POSIX.2 is subject to change, we request a temporary interpretation
    allowing the behaviour described by POSIX.2b.
