Would you want to start accumulating other vim enhancements under the
`extended-vi' option?  If not, I don't think the change to ';' is important
enough for a named option.

As an aside: 
If you _would_ want more extensions, I think the very popular vim text-object
commands (e.g., ci" to change the text inside the surrounding quotes) would be
the low-hanging fruit.  Skimming through your codebase, I think they would be
pretty similar to the special-cases in 'rl_domove_read_callback()' for
dd/cc/yy:  they would modify both rl_mark and rl_point prior to dispatching a
d/c/y command. A little more state would need to be saved to support '.'-redo.
