Indeed, having to install "go-github-com-junegunn-fzf" when you are
really looking for "fzf" is not very intuitive.

So, "fzf" could inherit from "go-github-com-junegunn-fzf" and add all
the bells and whistles.

Would you want to provide a patch for that?

Meanwhile, I'm going to apply the update and leave the first patch out.

Regards,
