 It looks OK.  If I were doing it, which I'm not, I'd ensure it was
 mentioned in the synopsis, and since the above IS a synopsis, I'd just
 put that there.  I'd also be more accurate about what the "restrictions"
 are.  For instance, from my unfinished look at the code, it looked like
 it would restrict one from editing "./xxx" which is in the current
 directory.  Maybe you should commit your change and leave the PR open
 in case somebody later cares enough to improve it (or better, the
 program).
