I have more on this, but if possible it would be best to make ediff do
that natively.  I don't know if that's possible.

Thanks for your prompt replies. The reason I looked for this feature
is that it is available in the package git-emacs. There I can choose
Git - 
Add to index - Select changes in current file. Then ediff starts, and
I can modify the buffer named <index>:FILENAME at will.
After I answer 'y' to 'Quit this Ediff session?',  another question comes up
'Add changes to the git index? (y or n)'. With 'y' I see the message
Saving file /tmp/git-emacs-tmp6991oXZ...'

So I guess all it takes is saving a temporary file and adding its
content to the index. Given my lack of experience in lisp programming,
I don't know how hard it actually is to implement in magit,
though. But a quick look into the source code of git-emacs revealed
this function

[...]

I would be very happy if this became available in magit.

Could you test what has just been pushed in master, it should do it.
