Comment (by rgovostes):

 I am writing a plugin to replace WordPress's page editor. I was originally
 doing this by starting an output buffer in the admin_header and then
 replacing the contents of the buffer with my custom PHP file, but I ran
 into problems with WP_Scripts not outputting JavaScript calls that had
 already been printed in the "first rendering."

 My second solution was to exploit the fact that pages.php calls
 wp_redirect if the action specified isn't handled by its switch. First, I
 rewrote all the Edit links in the pages list to use a different action.
 (thus, #4058). Then I used a filter on wp_redirect to handle the action
 myself -- including the admin header, the new form, and finally, the admin
 footer.

 However, I was getting PHP errors from the script that generates the
 menubar because $menu wasn't defined (in the foreach loop, line 8). The
 solution was to write "global $menu, $submenu, ..." on the line before I
 include'd the header.

 If there is a better way than how I'm going about this, save for replacing
 the in-built edit form, I'd be open to hear it. It seems that each method
 I've looked into requires hacks and workarounds...
