As I stated in the message to which you replied, that only works if the
calling program is guaranteed to use system or its equivalent to load
the $EDITOR.  Git et al. may do that, but I don't know that there's any
guarantee of it working universally: other programs do use $EDITOR, you
know. ;-)  That's why I recommend a script: simple and universal.
