This is a good idea, but I'd rather invoke

$EDITOR input/lsr/TITLE.ly input/texidocs/TITLE.texidoc

This would work well for Emacs, but I don't know if other good editors
splits the window when theay are given 2 files on the command line.

I won't implement this before acoustics and signal processing exams I
take next Tuesday and next Wednesday, but don't worry, I'm really
motivated to write such a tool, because nearly no LSR texidoc has been
translated in French yet...  the French translators (including me) have
simply been hibernating :-P
