This is a very enlightening post. Please let me know if the following questions belong in their own post.
1\. Is there a way to view a list of all available `ex` commands like `delete`, `put`, etc.?
2\. I am used to registers being represented with `"`. Why is it `!` in this context and how did... (more) |

Returning your workspace to order then becomes: `'z` `zt` `'w`. (more) |

These are good clarifying questions. I do not have any real hard requirement, besides it working in a linux terminal.
The less dependencies the solution comes with, the better. I was hoping for one that uses GNU coreutils, but there's no penalty to documenting other solutions.
