Does emacs have an edit pipeline mode?

Does emacs have an edit pipeline mode?

Does emacs have something similar to vip when it comes to editing
commands in a pipeline?

What I mean, does emacs have something similar to what is in the
following url
http://www.usenix.org/publications/login/1997-10/toolman.html

Have you actually read that article?  In particular the part where he
says:

    I have to admit that temporary files are at work here. But the
    cleanup is automagic and transparent to the user. Also, just to
    prove that I'm not a vi nazi, vip is not restricted to just that
    editor. It will check your VISUAL and EDITOR environment variables
    and behave accordingly.

I just skimmed it. Okay, so this was a moment of me opening my mouth
and inserting my foot. You win.

Actually, everybody wins!

You win because you know the solution to the original question now, and
we win because we got to know about a new tool :-)
