In a previous review, I asked if this subshell could be dropped or if
it was required for set_fake_editor. I didn't quite understand your
response, so I tested it myself, and found that the subshell can be
eliminated safely without breaking this or later tests.

Ditto for this subshell.

Broken &&-chain.
