Does using sudoedit instead make any difference?

After a system install I often "sudo nano /etc/fstab" for example. That drops .nano_history in my home directory with root ownership and rw------- permissions. Subsequent use of nano as user issues a warning before start.

It would be better to chmod the file to $SUDO_USER environment variable if it exists.
