This is a useful technique. If you use vi, emacs, or some other editor
with macro capability you can start the whole thing with one keystroke.

This gives you most of the advantages of a language-specific editor
without having to make do with an editor that's usually crippled in
other areas (LDE on UNIX, the TDI modula-2 editor or Alice on the PC).
