sure. so when i try changing a variable in a config file,
your suggested usage is
scp myserver:/etc/myconfig /tmp/ \
&& $EDITOR /tmp/myconfig \
&& scp /tmp/myconfig myserver: \
&& ssh myserver sudo mv myconfig /etc/

(ignoring the fact that i'd need sudo to not prompt for a
password)

I'll stick with sudo vim /etc/myconfig, in that case. And
no, wrapping the above in a script is not sensible.
