Problem with that of course is that it only allows you to run login shells, even
if you're trying to run non-interactive remote commands. I guess you could use a
different ssh key for those, but that's a bit of a pain.

The compromise I finally settled on was just to put

exec /usr/bin/fish --login

in ~/.bash_profile.
