	I definitely wouldn't point anyone to a patch that didn't consider 
EDITOR.  I like vi, and I believe it should be the default since it's 
most likely to be there and working correctly on all systems (the emacs 
that ships with OS X is unusable, for example).  It's too easy to check 
for EDITOR, to avoid it.

	Overall, I think this is a much easier thing than most of the 
arguments I've been having here.  :)  There's no reason this can't be 
implemented in such a way as to make everybody happy (well, except for 
the people who want it to work their own custom way without having to 
configure it to do so, but they don't count).
