Why can't we put this in /bin/edit (assuming that this is made part of
one of the base-* packages), and require packages to use /bin/edit
as editor?

/bin/edit, from base-1.1.0-13:
---
#!      /bin/sh
${EDITOR-ae} "$@"
---

Maybe something like
---
#!	/bin/sh
${VISUAL-${EDITOR-ae}} "$@" || exit 1 
---
