Maybe we could rename sensible-editor to editor. I just hate having
two things make the same.
editor could be removed and sensible-editor would be renamed to editor
and call /etc/alternatives/editor when $EDITOR is unset. The
additional bash that gets started is irellevant, since bash will be in
memory anyway and exec $EDITOR frees the little unshared memory.
May the Source be with you.
