I think I explained myself badly - I am not arguing that you cannot do
it - but I was stating that for a consumer of the user/edit resource -
the consumer needs to know internal detail (that the user will be set to
the current user) to be able to answer the question "Which user am I
editing?".

With the more explicit version - users/:id/edit - it is more obvious
which resource is being edited.

So, whichever one is better depends on the OP's use case and how much he
wants the consumer to know about the implementation. I tend to err on
the side of more explicitness with methods that are publicly exposed but
I am always open to hearing counter opinions on the matter :)
