Thanks, I have pushed this.

In vi/vim, ^ and _ do actually differ slightly given a numeric argument.
It is ignored with ^ but moves down a line with _ and a count of 2
or more. + does much the same but with lines counted more normally.
Having zsh replicate this would probably be taking vi compatibility too
far. I'd guess _ is mostly useful for people that have a keyboard that
doesn't make ^ easy to access or where it operates as a dead key.
