Yes, I think that's the most reasonable thing to do, and I'm going to do
that.

Well that explains it! is there a reason why fc -e is used here for C-x C-e
instead of just plain "${VISUAL:-${EDITOR:-emacs}}" ?
By the way, git seems to interpret the EDITOR variable in a way
consistent with C-x C-e, while the pass program as I said seems to just
execute $EDITOR, like fc. I wonder if POSIX leaves room for interpretation
here.
Anyway, any sane person would probably just follow Greg's advice.
