Nice.  New feature eh?  But uh, not generally useful (45 degrees only). 
Something along the lines of "move n 10 e 10" or "move ne 10 10" would be 
better.  In fact I think I like the latter best, because then "move ne 10" 
would be a more natural short version.  Should be trivial to implement...

By the way, how come "move ne 10 10" currently only move diagonally by 1?
