A long, long time ago, the then-current maintainer of the text editor
and I discussed replacing our editor code with an embeddable editor.
The basic idea was we got all sorts of text edit goodness and did not
have to write/maintain it ourselves.

Still seems like a good idea.  Scintilla was one of the candidates.
