Practical usage? #3

This package looked pretty interesting and useful based on the gif from the readme on textobj-word-column.vim, but trying to replicate the functionality that that gif seems to display didn't really work out. I'm not sure if this is a difference in the port or if I'm simply doing things wrong.

For example, trying to do dic to delete a common prefix character on the same column in consecutive rows ended up deleting more than just that prefix character. Overall I'm not quite sure what motions/operations one could actually do with this. Would you mind describing some examples?

It's not intended to work exactly like the vim plugin, but for that case it should. The package really isn't completely functional yet and needs more work and tests.
