[1] It might make sense for test_set_editor, when run from within a
test, to behave more like test_config, and do:
test_when_finished '
sane_unset FAKE_EDITOR &&
sane_unset EDITOR
'
I don't know if there would be fallouts with other test scripts,
though.
The default environment for tests is to set EDITOR=: to avoid
accidentally triggering interactive cruft and interfering with
automated tests, I thought.
If the above sane-unset is changed to EDITOR=: then I think that is
probably sensible.
