Passing Vim's arguments via :edit command

You can pass arbitrary Vim arguments to :edit
command. For example, the
following command opens Vim with buffer named script
and 'filetype'
set
to sh
:
:edit +set\ filetype=sh script
For convenience one can define a command to start editing files in Vim forcing the desired value of 'filetype'
:
:command new :edit +set\ filetype=%a
And use it like:
:new sh script
which is equal to the first command.
