I'm really excited about lei; thanks very much for working on it!

I think this is a typo for "lei q".  I only mention it because this
typo also appears in your blog:

This isn't working for me.  With current public-inbox (07cd8973baf8
("Makefile.PL: fix useless use of push")), I get:

  $ lei edit-search
  usage: lei edit-search OUTPUT
  E: OUTPUT not supplied
  $ lei edit-search out
  --no-save was used with out cwd=/home/bjorn

Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

"lei help" and "lei --help" are not very useful because I can't figure
out how to even get a list of the commands:

  $ lei help | cat
  usage: lei help [SUBCOMMAND]
  show help

  $ lei --help | cat
  usage: lei COMMAND ...
  ...

lib/PublicInbox/LEI.pm *looks* like it has good help text in it, so
maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Also their output gets piped through $PAGER by default, which isn't
super convenient.
