- I wish editing the current folder was configurable from .elm/elmrc --
- I'd love to be able to do it, but I don't want to configure elm with
- that option enabled, because one of my Dangerous Users would eventually
- do it, and screw something royally. I also would rather _not_ keep
- a version of elm configured to do this in my account.

- How about it, Syd? Could you make editing the current folder an
- option in .elm/elmrc? (Preferably with *LOTS* of warning around
- it :-))
