Of course, I didn't want to give examples for all text objects, I
hoped it's enough to give one example. I was mostly thinking about
', " strings and xml tags, because sentences and paragraphs would
be harder to disambiguate... maybe code blocks too, but I mostly
use python and python functions are not official text-objects
anyway.

I was definitely thinking of current buffer only, and maybe even limited
to some small number of preceding / following text objects. Like 5 or
10. That'd be enough to be very useful.
