Explain /edit
Problem
In the /edit workflow, continue responds with the code diff for the ^ + Shift + L'd code and often leaves me wondering why it's doing what it's doing.
To sort that out, I often accept the suggestion, then ask what it did. Then iterate.
Solution
What if we get 2 outputs:
- Continue Diff (today's behaviour), plus
- an additional response in chat explaining why this particular diff
One workaround is to ask it to /edit with comments, but then I have to delete the comments :-)
Ideally, I think the DX workflow should allow some fast iteration on the currently being looked at function/code(?) that shows for both the continue diff and the explanation to evolve on a sub-thread of sorts; don't know, thinking out loud here, mainly to point out the UX friction issue(?)
