[hobbit] Is there a way to clone host definitions in bb-hosts?

[John Burk]

let's just assume that after wrangling *nix machines for over 20 years
I'm familiar with a couple of shells.

What I'm looking for is a more helpful answer; loading several files
up into vi and doing a search and replace on all lines that match a
pattern feels kludgy to me.
