Thanks for the information.  It seems ewoc.el might be useful as
a data-view connection between a buffer with BUGS text file and
categorized views displayed by Ee.

However, I think we should start with creating a simple mode
to support editing BUGS text files: fontification and completion of
data fields, adding new records from templates, moving existing
records, etc. with all these operations performed on a file buffer.
And later to add other packages to display statistics, summaries,
categorized views and other such additional features in a separate
view buffer.
