Yes, I just meant if he was concerned about unintentional use of the tunnel, he could give it a specific Host name that he only used with vi commands. Certainly that name and its associated configuration would be available to ssh/scp/rsync/etc if he used that name with those commands, but he could use names (say with _vi appended) that he only used with vi.
