Closes: #378122 * combine: Man page improvements, to clarify even more that order does matter and that the operations are not commutative. Closes: #361123 * combine: The behavior of "or" was fairly strange if lines were repeated in a file. Changed behavior to just print all lines from both files, even if this means printing dups. Not sure I like this behavior either, but it's consistent with the very useful behaviors of "and" and "not". * vidir, vipe: Use /usr/bin/editor if it's present, and EDITOR and VISUAL arn't set, to comply with Debian policy. For portability, fall back to vi if there's no /usr/bin/editor.
