It may be necessary to turn Drei off by default, as there are still some
somewhat-serious problems:

* Reader macros are poorly handled by the Lisp syntax, leading to possible
Listener breakage.
* Delimiter gestures do not work properly for some reason (rtoy has been
affected by this).
* Sometimes, Lisp syntax is not properly enabled when the input buffer is
changed via the presentation history or similar.
* Sometimes, Drei will move its output record when stuff is inserted. I
*suspect* this is not the same bug as the one triggered by Closure.

Apart from that, great! There's been quite a bunch of changes over the last
months, so it's a good time to do a release I think.
