ed is an interactive editor ;) but, to answer the question, at
the very least the testsuite would.

We don’t do that in Debian. Cannot, really. Just stick it into the
.kshrc file and assume users are clueful enough to copy that into
their HOME manually if the account was created prior to installation
of the package. I know mksh users do, as the shipped mkshrc is an
extremely useful settings bundle and the shell’s very bare without it.
