I would not do that either, not only because emacs is a huge beast which
can have bugs, but most importantly because I don't trust myself in not
doing anything harmful inadvertantly after some time [*]. Anyway we can
agree to disagree (and/or continue off list if you wish). I simply
wanted to point out the existence of sudoedit which I found a very smart
idea when I discovered it.

[*] I sometimes wish I could use some programs as separate users and
only when needed give one of them the right on a given set of
files/directories. Unfortunately my skills are too limited to be able to
use such a setup (and it's overkill compared to the very limited
security I enforce in other areas on my computer). But if anyone reading
this has hints on how to achive that setup or anything similar,
suggestions are very welcome and my mailbox is open.
