#55881: MacVim should have variant to override system vi, vim, vimdiff, view, ex

-------------------------+--------------------
 The MacVim app contains non-GUI versions of vim, vimdiff, and view. It
 would be really helpful if MacVim had a variant defined that installed
 symlinks to these (plus vi and ex) in addition to the GUI versions, so
 that way `vim` in the Terminal ran the exact same Vim that `mvim` does.

 I know I can install the `vim` port, but that would be a separate
 installation of Vim, which is not only wasted space but also has the
 potential to be configured differently or updated independently of MacVim
 (which I view as a downside; my Vim setup is predicated on certain
 configurations being available, such as +lua, and CLI and MacVim should
 behave the same here).

 FWIW HomeBrew has this option (--with-override-system-vim).
