i have downloaded data from postgresql into a file my haskell program.
i can of course edit this file with say vim.

can i run vim on that file from within haskell and after quiting vim
have control returned to my haskell program?

the situation is like calling vim to edit my claws-mail emails instead
of using the native editor. after editing, i quit the external editor
and am returned to the native editor.
