The idea of a wrapper script is that when the user types 'nano arguments',
that instead of nano itself the script is invoked (either through an alias
or by naming the script 'nano' and having it earlier in the PATH than the
real nano), which then first calls the real nano with all the arguments,
and after nano exits runs your sed script with -i on all the file arguments
-- that is: on all arguments that do not start with + or - (people who use
file names that begin with a plus or a minus deserve their pain).

Having two assignments on one line is poorly readable.

But thanks for the script.
