Description

Subvert and the coercion operators are some of my most used features in vim. I can't believe no-one has suggested it yet!?

Abolish may be a difficult thing to emulate, since it adds iabbrev commands to the .vimrc. But, the subvert substitution and the coercion operations are 🔥

Research direction

Start with the vim-abolish behavior described here: subvert substitution, coercion operations, and iabbrev commands in .vimrc. Check how those behaviors could be represented in this TypeScript VS Code Vim extension; done would require an agreed implementation and verification, but the issue names no files or tests.
