Seemed like a good idea, and that's what the man page I have says, also.
But the program seems not to match the man page; didn't work. So:
526 $ sudo strings `whence visudo` | grep editor
...
/usr/bin/editor
...
527 $ ls -l /usr/bin/editor
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Sep 23 2012 /usr/bin/editor ->
/etc/alternatives/editor
528 $ ls -l /etc/alternatives/editor
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Aug 4 16:23 /etc/alternatives/editor -> /bin/nano
sudo rm /etc/alternatives/editor
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/vim.tiny /etc/alternatives/editor
... works. Thanks for your encouragement.

I wonder who did that? I also wonder how it would work
compiled in Enhanced ASCII mode.
