Yes, and it's also completely and utterly inappropriate. But I am
seeing a lot of cool magic getting added to Idle. Since I met Python,
it's gone from being "well, yeah, Python *does* include a GUI, but
it's pretty unexciting compared to others" to "Python includes a
pretty decent editor, but it's (unsurprisingly) Python-specific, so I
don't use it for multilingual work".

Shout-out to Terry and the other Idle devs for the work they've put in. Thanks!
