There's also editors/nano and editors/nano-devel, described in the
Makefile's COMMENT as:

Nano's ANOther editor, an enhanced free Pico clone

It's virtually identical to pico, but with a few enhancements, such as
the ability to set tab stops, which I like *very* much when editing
shell scripts, C and other source code files (that is, when I'm not
using an IDE such as kdevelop or whatever).  It's become my *de facto*
replacement for pico, which I used for years.
