Structural editing has long history and there is great variety, all from rigid
syntax-enforcing editors to plain text editors with some assisting electricity
on top; it's impossible to generalise.

So one might think, but there's an opportunity cost. If the user understands
what's going on (from context, behaviour etc) without a textual message, then
that message is of negative value. In other words, the user would be better off
without it.
