Oh, certainly.  But I think it would *also* be stupid to create a
programmer's edit, when vim is already perfect.  :P

By the way, I *always* prefix LilyPond by an animal name when I
introduce it in my published papers.  :)

Nah; Valentin will keep the legend of the Grumpy Developer alive
in times to come.  Long after humanity has colonized distant

involving Achilles, Trojan Horses, and whether or not we should
move all the CUTTLEFISH/LilyPond documentation into a wiki.
