They are one of the most useful parts of Vim and enhancing this area would, I think, increase Vim's utility. I know adding features complicates everything but because text objects are so important I feel the benefits outweigh the costs.

Thank you for you kind words!

I looked into popular plugins and found that they often saved cpoptions in autoload, so I figured it can't hurt. Also I believe that plugin/targets.vim gets source when Vim starts, while autoload/targets.vim gets sourced only when the first of its text objects is used. So it makes sense to restore cpoptions in both of these cases.

I agree with your attitude about the text object discussions. Because of Vim's grammar both commands and text objects are expressiveness multipliers.
