It would be better to fix our vi in accordance with POSIX. Thoughts?

I think it is better to keep the behavior (exit) and fix the man page.
vim exits too. It is usually the case that the user does not want to
edit the file with the same name!

Well, I agree that the current behavior is safer for users.
I fixed the manpage.

Thank you!
