Yes.  There was no bug filed on this, it was just something I noticed
when comparing the sudoedit and visudo editor code.

I'll be updating the documentation on the "editor" setting in sudo
1.8.23 to mention that it is used by sudoedit when no EDITOR, VISUAL
or SUDO_EDITOR environment variable is set.  Originally, "editor"
was only for visudo but now a common set of code is used in visudo
and sudoedit to determine the editor.
