Message:
fall back to vi(1) instead of ed(1) if neither EDITOR nor VISUAL are set ed users are reading files with their minds rather then their eyes, and might therefore be missing important visual clues we write into files before the user gets to edit them. Use of vi(1) ensures that such clues will not be missed.
