Well, I'm found that I misunderstood sense of -p option when I run edit 
magic. I think that this option invoke editor with last edited code but 
instead it invoke editor with last used condition. So, if I do:

In[1]: edit
In[2]: edit -p

In the second edit call I also get editor with empty file not with last 
edited (if it was temporary). So I beg you to return old behaviour when 
temporary file edited.
