Description
Flow:
- User types the target command (note:
editcommand has a different semantic as of now) in IRB - IRB opens a temporary file in thed configured editor (same as the
editcommand uses) - After the file is saved & closed, IRB executes its content

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing edit command and how IRB uses the configured editor. Implement the described temporary-file flow for a target command, ensuring saved and closed content is executed while preserving the current edit semantics; done means the complete flow works from IRB.
