Ooh, no; that text is saying that an editor would make a good example
to put in the HOWTO.  I'd rather have the curses module contain only a
fairly close mapping of the C API, and extensions written in Python
would be in submodules like curses.editor, curses.textbox, whatever.
Similar to how socketmodule.c is a thin veneer over the BSD socket API, 
and the spiffy extensions are in asyncore.py, httplib.py, &c.
