Actually it isn't precisely the same behavior. If I do
sage: %edit factor
then this edits the factor function installed in
SAGE_ROOT/local/lib/python/site-packages/sage/...
(which will be overwritten by 'sage -br'), whereas
sage: edit(factor)
edits
SAGE_ROOT/devel/sage/sage/rings/arith.py
Moreover, we'll extend the edit command so when called in the notebook
it creates an textarea editor on the relevant file.
