Useful tool for finding commands from commandlinefu

Support passing arguments to execute a command (fu -e)
From 1 comment
Cool stuff. I am curious how hard it would be to implement something like fu -e #, so you can just pass desired arguments, instead of manually tweaking command from clipboard.

Questions
Does fu -e execute the command or edit it?
