For me I think that the

    "Messages go together with commmits(ci)"

So it would rather be part of the commit, than new command. I don't
think addding more commands is the way to go, because this case is
just a subset of the "commit behavior", namely re-editing. Howabout
making it spelled out:

   bzr ci --edit-last-message
