Yeah, GtkSourceView is really nice -- it does the heavy lifting, and
it's easy to use.

I can't think of anything else. So, the integration of an editor and
Octave only requires little. So, wouldn't it be better to run the editor
in a separate process and use some means of inter-process communication
to handle the integration? That way it would be easier to extend
$MY_EDITOR to integrate with Octave.
