It's been done.  We're running rn version 4.3, which was posted, what,
a couple of months ago?  And it has precisely that improvement.  It also
has macros so that you can reverse the more-style reversed functions of
'space and return in the pager mode.  Thanks, Larry.  (Are you there?)

I don't think Chris Metcalf's objection:

is very significant.  I don't think most rn users have that particular
restriction, and Chris can always type !date^M^Z instead of ^M^Z.
