ah! And I forgot the main issue to back this answer: there is no "EFL
editor", thus you can't help everybody. I use emacs myself and don't
give a shit about vim. People that use vim don't give a shit to emacs.
Raster himself uses a weird editor nobody else uses. Then Leandro uses
yet-another, then some guy here uses kate... you got it: you'll not
"fix" the said problem by having these things in.
