+"""Quick, dirty script that will convert a csv file to yaml, spawn an editor
+for you to fiddle with it, then convert back to csv and replace the original
+file.
+
+Run me as: $0 some_file.csv
+
+The editor used is $EDITOR, of course.
+
+This script is not guaranteed to be even remotely reliable, so consider only
+using it on files in source control.
