# Quick shortcut to an editor.
#
# This means that as I travel back and forth between editors, hey, I don't have
# to re-learn any arcane commands. Neat.
#
# USAGE:
#
# $ e
# # => opens the current directory in your editor
# $ e .
# $ e /usr/local
# # => opens the specified directory in your editor
#
# $ e local
# => opens that folder if it's available in fasd's index
# $ e -i local
# => opens interactive selection menu if it's available in fasd's index
#TODO
# - allow it to work w/ more than one file
#
