Err, actually what you're doing there is defining two functions, one
called vared and one called foo, with the same body. The function>
prompt is the usual continuation prompt. You'd get it just the same if
the first line were:
% foo() {
Of course, in a case like this you can simply up-arrow and edit the
foo()... a few lines before.
Clint's answer is the most useful... the function zed supplied with the
shell does this. Remember to autoload it. Pedantically,
autoload -Uz zed
zed -f foo
Hit ^J when you're finished (or ^X^W if your terminal is weird).
