 I'm writing a plugin at present which uses a custom page_type when storing
 it in the DB, However, I'd like to retain the "Edit Post" functionality.

 At present, If you edit a post of any post_type then the post_type gets
 overridden to simple "post" regardless of what it originally was.

 I've attached a patch to correct this. (While using either the page or the
 post editor to edit a non-post/non-page item)

 (edit-form-advanced.php / edit-page-form.php look remarkably similar to
 me.. Is there any real reason why the page/post editors are not one and
 the same? I'm undecided which one's better suited for editing my custom
 posts atm)
