 i wouldn't say that invoking an editor on any piece of text is
 a "rare" operation.  i regularly do that (in a read-only mode)
 on lots of files i'm not actually editing, but want an editor
 to view / traverse it with.
 
 that said, IMO people who want to vi cat pages should just
 build and install them all like the old build :-)
