If jed can deal with files that large, sure. But if it expects to be

Old vi was able to work with files larger than available RAM. I wonder
if any modern text editor today can still handle that.
I've got a 23GB text file that vim 7.2.079-1 just won't "see".
more(1) processes it, file(1) processes it, but vim displays an
empty screen with "[New File]" at the bottom.
