Now that you mention it, I'm not sure what's going on here. At the time I was consistently getting "pattern not found" errors, so I threw the wildcard in there. However, now that I'm testing it, I find that neither `g//d` nor `g/./d` clears blank lines in a test file.

Do you know the actual behavior of `g//d`? Is it repeating the last pattern used or is *really* an alias for `g/.*/d`, which definitely does what we want.
