This makes sense. I have been mulling over whether NetBSD should install an ~/.editrc file by default, and in this case it "feels right" that runtime commands take precedence over config files. However, there's some non-trivial ways this can go wrong, including your example. I wish editing mode and whether editing was enabled was more clearly divorced.
