It's essentially a setup function for a manual test suite.  It's not user-facing,
but a developer might invoke it manually to test a patch being worked on.

That path doesn't exist on my system either.  Having it still helps
$EDITOR default to the right syntax highlighting, though.

I suppose it could be changed to use /usr/bin/env, or even /bin/sh but
for the use of ${foo:P} on line 47.

The latter.  And is there any way to make the script's purpose clearer?
