No, I didn't actually try it in vim.  It was that way in vi long ago
and I've given up on keeping track of what versions have what different
behavior.  But now that you mention it, none of the versions I use
regularly need the space - and the other old quirk of not taking a
repeat count for 'r' is fixed too.  Maybe I should start reading release
notes again - or at least once a decade...
