FILE path to the file
Flexibly run a text editor, either directly or in a pipe.
The editor used is either $VISUAL or $EDITOR, with a fallback to
vi in case any of those variables aren't defined.
Examples:
Edit "file.txt":
$ e file.txt
Manipulate the content of a pipe midway:
$ seq 10 | e | grep 5
EOF
}
