Yes, I noticed it a long time ago by looking at
code uncovered with tests. That code looked
a tad mysterious until I saw what it did.  I gave
up adding a test for it. as it would spoil the
fun :-) and it would also be slow.

I also noticed this when developing tests. I have now added

a test for this using test_override with ui_delay to avoid

the delay.

This page has other vim easter eggs:
https://www.reddit.com/r/vim/comments/28pj01/vim_easter_eggs/
:hi Ni <Tab> was missing there. So is :smile

The most hilarious if you know Swedish is that "Ni" is the Swedish word for "You" ("Vous") and when I was young that form of address (to a single person) was supposedly only used by stuffy old people who considered themselves better than others, so "knights who say Ni" evokes a very specific image for my generation of Swedes.

My favorite is clearly :h bar — how many meta levels are there? :-)
