How to render edit view and post flash message in rails3

Question

In my account controller I\'d like to display (render, redirect_to ?) the edit view after changes get saved and display flash notice.

 def update
    @account =

By default you have to use a separate statement, e.g.

format.html { 
  flash[:notice] = 'message'
  render :edit
}

This ticket has a patch to let you use render 'edit', :notice => 'message'. It didn't get into Rails but there is a gem, flash_render, that adds it.
