in GHCi map `:editNNN` to $EDITOR +NNN
I suggest to treat GHCi REPL commands :editNNN
(as well as equivalent abbreviations, like :eNNN
) where NNN
is a natural number, as invocations of the text editor with a +NNN
option.
Rationale: When I see a type error in line 42 then I'd like to visit this line directly with :e42
. Optionally one could implement :eNNN:CCC
to also target the column CCC
in that line.
emacs
, vi
and pico
all implement the option +NNN
to land in the line NNN
.
