I'm not sure whether "text object" is the proper term here, but please read on!

Basically, in Vim, you can type `d/hamster`, hit enter, and Vim will delete all text until the first occurrence of the word "hamster". This is consistent with the `f`and `t` movement commands—you can use them to move to the first occurrence of a letter, or you can delete/change/select all text until that first occurrence.

It would be extraordinarily useful if Vintage could provide similar functionality.
