fix %edit foo for interactively defined variables

Effectively handles cases such as:

    In [1]: def foo(): return 5
    In [2]: %edit foo

Where `%edit foo` effectively turns into `%edit 1` by parsing the `<ipython-input-NN-…>` fake filename.

         Usage:
           %edit [options] [args]
 
         %edit runs IPython's editor hook. The default version of this hook is
         set to call the editor specified by your $EDITOR environment variable.
         If this isn't found, it will default to vi under Linux/Unix and to
         notepad under Windows. See the end of this docstring for how to change
         the editor hook.
 
         You can also set the value of this editor via the
         ``TerminalInteractiveShell.editor`` option in your configuration file.
         This is useful if you wish to use a different editor from your typical
         default with IPython (and for Windows users who typically don't set
         environment variables).
 
         This command allows you to conveniently edit multi-line code right in
         your IPython session.
 
         If called without arguments, %edit opens up an empty editor with a
         temporary file and will execute the contents of this file when you
         close it (don't forget to save it!).
 
 
         Options:
 
         -n <number>: open the editor at a specified line number.  By default,
         the IPython editor hook uses the unix syntax 'editor +N filename', but
         you can configure this by providing your own modified hook if your
         favorite editor supports line-number specifications with a different
         syntax.
 
         -p: this will call the editor with the same data as the previous time
         it was used, regardless of how long ago (in your current session) it
         was.
 
         -r: use 'raw' input.  This option only applies to input taken from the
         user's history.  By default, the 'processed' history is used, so that
         magics are loaded in their transformed version to valid Python.  If
         this option is given, the raw input as typed as the command line is
         used instead.  When you exit the editor, it will be executed by
         IPython's own processor.
 
         -x: do not execute the edited code immediately upon exit. This is
         mainly useful if you are editing programs which need to be called with
         command line arguments, which you can then do using %run.
 
 
         Arguments:
 
         If arguments are given, the following possibilities exist:
 
         - If the argument is a filename, IPython will load that into the
           editor. It will execute its contents with execfile() when you exit,
           loading any code in the file into your interactive namespace.
 
         - The arguments are ranges of input history,  e.g. "7 ~1/4-6".
           The syntax is the same as in the %history magic.
 
         - If the argument is a string variable, its contents are loaded
           into the editor. You can thus edit any string which contains
           python code (including the result of previous edits).
 
         - If the argument is the name of an object (other than a string),
           IPython will try to locate the file where it was defined and open the
           editor at the point where it is defined. You can use `%edit function`
           to load an editor exactly at the point where 'function' is defined,
           edit it and have the file be executed automatically.
 
         - If the object is a macro (see %macro for details), this opens up your
           specified editor with a temporary file containing the macro's data.
           Upon exit, the macro is reloaded with the contents of the file.
 
         Note: opening at an exact line is only supported under Unix, and some
         editors (like kedit and gedit up to Gnome 2.8) do not understand the
         '+NUMBER' parameter necessary for this feature. Good editors like
         (X)Emacs, vi, jed, pico and joe all do.
 
         After executing your code, %edit will return as output the code you
         typed in the editor (except when it was an existing file). This way
         you can reload the code in further invocations of %edit as a variable,
         via _<NUMBER> or Out[<NUMBER>], where <NUMBER> is the prompt number of
         the output.
 
         Note that %edit is also available through the alias %ed.
 
         This is an example of creating a simple function inside the editor and
         then modifying it. First, start up the editor::
 
           In [1]: edit
           Editing... done. Executing edited code...
           Out[1]: 'def foo():\\n    print "foo() was defined in an editing
           session"\\n'
 
         We can then call the function foo()::
 
           In [2]: foo()
           foo() was defined in an editing session
 
         Now we edit foo.  IPython automatically loads the editor with the
         (temporary) file where foo() was previously defined::
 
           In [3]: edit foo
           Editing... done. Executing edited code...
 
         And if we call foo() again we get the modified version::
 
           In [4]: foo()
           foo() has now been changed!
 
         Here is an example of how to edit a code snippet successive
         times. First we call the editor::
 
           In [5]: edit
           Editing... done. Executing edited code...
           hello
           Out[5]: "print 'hello'\\n"
 
         Now we call it again with the previous output (stored in _)::
 
           In [6]: edit _
           Editing... done. Executing edited code...
           hello world
           Out[6]: "print 'hello world'\\n"
 
         Now we call it with the output #8 (stored in _8, also as Out[8])::
 
           In [7]: edit _8
           Editing... done. Executing edited code...
           hello again
           Out[7]: "print 'hello again'\\n"
 
 
         Changing the default editor hook:
 
         If you wish to write your own editor hook, you can put it in a
         configuration file which you load at startup time.  The default hook
         is defined in the IPython.core.hooks module, and you can use that as a
         starting example for further modifications.  That file also has
         general instructions on how to set a new hook for use once you've
         defined it."""
