Idea: Allow VisualForce Detail Page to be an edit form

I would like to create a VisualForce page to override the Edit page for my objects. I can do this now, but I have to build the form by hand. Please enable the “Detail” component, which renders the correct page layout for the object/profile combo, to be put into edit mode.

This would be incredible, because I could then put a conditions-based redirect after the save action to send my User to the next action. This could be:

* a page for next steps on a recently won Opportunity
* a page outlining research steps for a newly created Account

This is a very powerful platform feature I’d love to see!
