usage() {
	cat <<-'EOF'
		Usage:
		  e [FILE]
		  e -h
	EOF
}

help() {
	cat <<-'EOF'

		Options:
		  -h, --help


		Flexibly run a text editor, either directly on in a pipe.

		Examples:

		  Edit "file.txt":

		    $ e file.txt

		  Manipulate the content of a pipe midway:

		    $ seq 10 | e | grep 5

		The editor used is either $VISUAL or $EDITOR, with a fallback to
		vi in case any of those variables aren't defined.
