Saying stuff about stuff.

v now automatically reads from stdin

I previously wrote v to help with a couple of my common wants when starting Vim. Something I often forget is to pass the - when piping stdin to Vim, expecting it to behave in the same way as other commands like less. So I’ve updated v to automatically pass the - argument to Vim if it detects that it’s receiving content from stdin.

Here’s what now happens:

$ echo testy | v
Vim: Reading from stdin...

As ever the source is on GitHub. For the curious here are the tests for this newly added functionality.
