[Tipz] Vim hiliting for MySQL, and more...

Here's a nifty alias I just added to my Zsh config:

    [ "x$EDITOR" = "xvim" ] && \
        alias mysql="EDITOR=\"vim -c ':set ft=sql'\" mysql"

Now I can oogle at my angry fruit salad (i.e., syntax hiliting)
when I use the \e command in the mysql client. This can, of
course, be extensible to any other client that calls out to an
editor.
