[IPython-user] bug in edit magic: content of edited file is not accessible

[Alexander Belchenko]

In 0.6.15 when I edit file with edit magic command I've got content of 
edited file in last Out variable. In 0.7.0 this is broken: after editing 
code was executed but text is not accessible as _X variable. Is this 
intended behaviour? I think it's a bug.

Below my session that illustrate this behaviour. As you can see in dir() 
output there was no _1 variable at all.
