Dear Maintainer,

I just got
  $ rails credentials:edit
  No $EDITOR to open file in. Assign one like this:

  EDITOR="mate --wait" bin/rails credentials:edit

  For editors that fork and exit immediately, it's important to pass a wait flag,
  otherwise the credentials will be saved immediately with no chance to edit.

Quoth Policy 11.4:

Best,

Thanks for your bug report. This is an interesting issue.

However, not following a "should" directive in policy is not really a
serious bug.

Whoops, misread the "must" for using-$EDITOR-in-general as also applying
to defaulting-to-/bin/editor. my b.
