I'm not sure of this vim-fetch thing.

vim ~/.vimrc:123

is doing what

vim ~/.vimrc +123

already does.

Looking at the repo, the author says it's to support log formats that would otherwise have to go through a "rather convoluted detour through an error file and the Quickfix window." but that's exactly how most people use it, as far as I know. That's what the quickfix window is for, so you can easily jump between errors. You don't usually paste in a line from an error log to the command arguments themselves.

Yes, but I wanted to support .vimrc:123 format because it is often used in errors of eslint, jest and other js tooling, so I can just jump to error line straight away after opening file in question without changing format.
