          This efun is available only if __OLD_ED__ is not defined.

          The internal editor is started, optionally loading 'file'
          for editing.  The resulting output is returned.  The editor
          session remains active, and further calls to ed_cmd() can be
          used to send commands to it.

          If restricted is 1, the commands that change which file is
          being edited will be disabled.

          Only one ed session can be active per object at a time.
