I can give an example. Specifically, I use the nedit binary as my
default editor with

  EDITOR=/usr/bin/nedit

Because many clients will launch that editor and block on that program's
exit. It does no good if the program returns before I am finished
editing. For example, when using NEdit as my text editor for mail
composition, or for News clients.

I think that the current layout, with nedit as one thing, and nc as
another is probably the right way to go. It's easier for me, for one
thing, and it's really not that hard to learn about nc. The only issue
is that netcat is also listed as nc, so I vote to change the executable
name to ncl.
