I'm in the middle meself. If I can do it without signifigantly
sacrificing startup time, then that's a definate "i dunno".

Now that it's out there, and people seem to be using it, I'm gonna
watch the votes come in informally. I'm going to have to do a big code
cleanup first anyway, I have some ideas for a pretty signifigant
restructuring. Although, with a Notepad-esque text editor, there is a
high likelyhood that "pretty signifigant restructuring" is "excessive
effort" ;-)

  i just don't think that's the point of it.
