### Notes to Package Maintainers
The canonical executable name is "edit" and the alternative name is "msedit".
We're aware of the potential conflict of "edit" with existing commands and as such recommend naming packages and executables "msedit".
Names such as "ms-edit" should be avoided.
Assigning an "edit" alias is recommended if possible.
