I have this now, but proper integration would be nicer as I don't have
to keep a script around and it would just work™ on any machine.

nanoriot() {
     file=$(echo $1 | cut -d : -f 1)
     line=$(echo $1 | cut -d : -f 2)
     if [ -z "$line" ]; then
         nano -E -T4 $file
     else
        nano -E -T4 +$line $file
     fi
