I'm sorry if I'm missing something, but how is this different from
"edit"?

Edit cherry-picks a commit, then exits to the shell. I needed to exit
to the shell without cherry-picking a commit.

Then you do "edit" on the preceding commit instead, no?

Indeed, before "x false" was available, I had found out that "edit"
without an argument fails with a harmless error and indeed achieves that
"pause" mechanism which was really missing.

What about just fixing this so we can use "edit" ?  Do we really need
another command here ?

Having an parameter-less "edit" would indeed be a bit more convenient.
