Addresses search a line at a time as sam does, say why they fail, and a failed addr leaves no address
addr's regexps ran mvzr over text[from..hi]: ^ and $ anchored only at the slice's ends, . matched newlines, the search never wrapped, and every failure read as bad address syntax. The regexps stay mvzr's, called the way sam searches (editors/acme/regx.c): one line per haystack, so ^ and $ fall at line boundaries and . never crosses a newline; a pattern naming \\n runs over the whole text with its . made [^\\n]; /re/ wraps unless limit is set, and ?re? takes the last match before the range. The ceiling (mvzr's first alternative, not sam's longest) is documented. A failed address says why (no match for regexp, address out of range, bad regular expression), and a failed write to addr leaves no address, so data and xdata refuse until the next good one instead of writing at the old range.
