[phemlock-devel] Re: Thoughts on syntax editing

[Aleksandar Bakic]

I'd like to discuss another issue: using a persistent data structure for the
buffer so that some functionality can be obtained for free, such as

- unlimited undo
- storing the editing history together with the latest version of a file (could
be used for better computing of version differences than with cvs-diff)

I am still looking for appropriate data structures. A good, brief intro into
this area is

(See Section 5.2.3.)

Is anyone else interested in pursuing this? Any other ideas?

Alex
