I don't use it, but then my .mh_profile has
pick: -sequence p
following Peek's book's suggestion to cover that one case.
That sequence ‘p’ is so useful I also have a ~/bin/mk that does
exec mark -sequence p "$@"
so I can fine tune a result with
mk -d p:3 p:-1
If I want to keep it, it's then a
pick -seq foo p
except my ~/bin/p is
exec pick "$@"
Just thought it may be interesting to others to share.
