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 :-))
