252 - Check for control characters (especially newlines) in filenames
253 and error out, since this can greatly confuse the editor or vidir.
254 - If the source of a rename does not exist (and thus the rename will fail
255 anyway), vidir should not move an existing target file to a tmpfile.
256 - If a directory is renamed, vidir should take that into account when
257 renaming files in this directory.
258 - If a directory name is passed as name/ to vidir, vidir should not
259 add second slash after the name.
260 * vidir: Add support for unlinking directories. To recursivly delete
261 a directory and its contents, pipe find to vidir, and delete the directory
262 and its contents in the editor. Closes: #412176

375 it's consistent with the very useful behaviors of "and" and "not".
