I get differences. But they disappear if I unset EDITOR and VISUAL.

Well... I get the vi bindings only on some of my machines, despite
the same configuration.

       In  addition  to these names, either `emacs' or `viins' is
       also linked to the name `main'.  If one of the  VISUAL  or
       EDITOR  environment variables contain the string `vi' when
       the shell starts up then it will be `viins', otherwise  it
       will  be  `emacs'.  [...]

Really? This is silly! Just because my login name contains "vi"
on some machines, I get the vi bindings.

zira:~> echo $EDITOR
/home/vinc17/bin/eclient

I suppose that it should take the first word and get the tail (:t).
