Even though I kind of agree with Nicholas, your concept is quite
amusing. :-)
Would that shell function do the kind of thing you would expect?
vi () {
local arg
for arg in "$@"
do
if [ -f "$arg" ]
then
printf '<<< %s >>>\n' "$arg"
cat "./$arg"
fi
done
command vi "$@"
for arg in "$@"
do
if [ -f "$arg" ]
then
printf '>>> %s <<<\n' "$arg"
cat "./$arg"
fi
done
}
Feel free to refine to your taste.
Kind Regards,
