+Description:
+ Interactively edit the current nftables ruleset using the editor specified
+ by environment variable EDITOR (defaulting to vim). Optionally, revert
+ changes after a timeout given in seconds.
+Options:
+ - \`-f\`, \`--fail\`: Exit unsuccessfully if changes fail to apply.
+ - \`-h\`, \`--help\`: Display this message and exit.
+ - \`-t NUM\`, \`--timeout NUM\`: Revert changes after NUM seconds.
+ - \`-y\`, \`--yes\`: No confirmation before applying changes.
