I think it's a good idea, and I would support importing it into the base

It's BSD licensed, right? I would say that that main requirement is that it
works with the cursor keys! I noticed this in the manual page:
For ee to work properly, the environment variable TERM must be set to
indicate the type of terminal being used. For example, for an HP 700/92
terminal, the TERM variable should be set to "70092". See your System
Administrator if you need more information.
It's a load of old rubbish because everything is a vt100. If the person at
the keyboard is using an odd terminal or whatever they are likely to know
enough to set TERM, or can learn it pretty easily.
