i'm good with prompter.  i didn't know it existed, and wrote my own
script to do much the same thing a couple of years ago, for use on my
phone.  bringing up vi on a phone's ssh connection is...  sub-optimal.

i don't think any of us involved in the vi-as-default thread from a
few years back really considered that it might cause a package dependency.
