I have seen your previous posts.

I just don't understand why you're so averse to moving the
shell-script logic you apparently envision for setting BZREDITOR from
a shell-generic initialization file to a bzr-specific script.

Neither the answer you gave above nor anything I've read in your other
posts have managed to give me an understanding of why you insist on
having bzr itself respect yet another environment variable.

(OTOH, I'm not really qualified to say that it indeed *is* a good idea
to allow .bzr.conf/editor to be executable; I just thought I'd mention
the idea.)
