character_overtype
character: <character>
This overtypes the character at the current cursor position. This always
overtype regardless of the insert/overtype flag set by other_insert.
eg: character_overtype 65 65 is ASCII 'A'
NOTE: It is not possible to overtype with an ASCII NUL (character 0) as this
is used internally within the editor.
NOTE: It is dangerous to insert the ASCII EOF character (^Z) into the file,
since although AE can handle it, when the file is written and
subsequently re-read, the reading will stop at the ^Z, thus truncating
the file.
NOTE: It is not possible to overtype before the tag part of a fold line.
