I use Look when I want to find a literal value, irrespective of it
containing special regular expression characters.  It's always been my
understanding that Look is intended for this purpose and I don't see
that Edit could be more efficient at it.

Historically, Look has been on the tag line a lot longer than Edit has
even existed in acme, if memory serves.
