editor can't handle args in editor environment variables

[carlcosmos]

common case is our users will have EDITOR set to gvim -f which causes editor to crash.

Kind of an old issue. There's a PR for it (#15), but I wasn't sure if it would break editors with whitespace in their names.

Ah - I didn't catch that issue in advance. Feel free to dupe. Our workaround is to just parse the EDITOR variable before invoking editor. In particular we have a lot of users doing things like 'gvim -f' for a blocking gvim for their other uses cases. Would it suffice to look for things that look like an optparse/argparse style option? like the pattern " -<char>" or " --<chars>" (a space followed by dashes followed by chars) ? Thanks for responding,
