This strange library replaces standard cl:ed function with a new one, which executes editor specified in the EDITOR environment variable.

It does not work from SLY, so I had to run a raw REPL:

* sb-ext:*ed-functions*
 NIL
 * (cl:ed "qlfile")

 debugger invoked on a SB-INT:EXTENSION-FAILURE in thread
 #<THREAD "main thread" RUNNING {1000518083}>:
   Don't know how to ED qlfile
 See also:
   The SBCL Manual, Variable *ED-FUNCTIONS*

 Type HELP for debugger help, or (SB-EXT:EXIT) to exit from SBCL.

 restarts (invokable by number or by possibly-abbreviated name):
   0: [ABORT] Exit debugger, returning to top level.

 (ED "qlfile")
 0] ^D
 * (ql:quickload :magic-ed)
 To load "magic-ed":
   Load 1 ASDF system:
     magic-ed
 ; Loading "magic-ed"

 (:MAGIC-ED)
 * sb-ext:*ed-functions*
 (MAGIC-ED:ED-EDITOR)
 * (cl:ed "qlfile")
 T

Also, this library provides a function magic-ed which is able to return file's content and evaluate the lisp code:

* (magic-ed:magic-ed "/tmp/foo" :output :string)
 ...
 HERE Vim WAS STARTED AND I EDITED THE FILE
 ...
 "(format t \"Blah~%\")
 "
 *

Can somebody tell me when this could be useful if you can just use Emacs and SLIME?
