So, I love vi-mode in my shell and find that setting it with EDITOR=
and/or VISUAL= is quite simple and straightforward. But I can
appreciate that it's a drag for those who want to start vi for an
editor but want emacs-style command line editing. I wouldn't mind
having `set -o vi` in my .kshrc; what's preventing us from getting rid
of this much hated feature?
