For the benefit of anyone stumbling upon this issue I'll note that I've published a module that provides a human friendly command for displaying and manipulating UNIX resource limits. See...

@gergelyk: It would help evaluate, and prioritize, your proposal if you could provide some concrete use cases. What do you mean by "it would help to integrate interactive shell with...

Note that issue #1265 was opened 13 months ago asking for `edit:del-var`. I'm still not convinced that command is justified since it's trivial to `exec elvish` if you need to...

For anyone who stumbles upon this issue in the future I've published my [`cmd-duration:human-readable`](https://github.com/krader1961/elvish-lib) function. I still feel something like it should be included in the base Elvish program since...
