I can see the need for using a separate editor for bzr, but don't see
how it's necessary having two separate mechanisms (both
.bzr.conf/editor and $BZREDITOR) for configuring this.
Would the current bzr-specific configuration mechanism be useful to
you if .bzr.conf/editor could itself be an executable? Then you could
set it up to look like e.g.
#!/bin/sh
which jmacs >/dev/null 2>&1 && exec jmacs "$@"
exec "$EDITOR" "$@"
