deleting custom surrounds

[ballcheck]

I have a custom surround let g:surround_105 = "if \r end"

Add surround works great with ySsi but can't delete with dsi

Also can't change custom surrounds with csi"

This is explicitly documented as unsupported. It's also a good example of why it's unsupported, because what you want is the conditional after the if to disappear, but there's no way for surround.vim to know that.

@tpope Would you be willing to re-evaluate this? I've been running a fork of this plugin for years with a workaround, and reports are piling up on another plugin I maintain suggesting I'm not the only one with issues.

I don't want to replace normal! with normal unconditionally; there are several special cases for things like ds" where i" and a" which have shall we say surprisingly behavior, and a user map would make a complete mess of that. But I would be okay with a version that used normal! for the big built-ins (anything with a special case plus parentheses, brackets, etc.) and :normal for everything else.

I missed that your plugin was literally a quote operator. Does that matter here? Do your a operators include adjacent whitespace like the built-in a" does?
