then I must get myself back in some role on this PBE task ... Serge S ?

  ( though I so dislike teX and its markup and its toolset - I have
them on my office desktop and maybe the updates have improved their
usability ;-)

  and, yes, I have one good friend left from old unix days who lives
and breathes teX ... lay, pc, ... my nightmare would be for unix to
pass into history but for teX to remain,  To each his own nightmares
;-)

none of my old PBE edits ever got merged in git as I recall  ( and,
no, I am not suggesting google "drive" ;-)

but, oh, for a croquet/cobalt edits collab environment ...

PS -  I am now lone (?) fanatic about string-oriented ObjectIcon at
code.google.com/p/objecticon with limited backtracking and
co-expressions ... as it is Unicode ... and so now is UNICON on
sourceforge.net - but even latter only has ( had ? ) one major US govt
user that I am aware of ... almost dead?

Although strings and texts and paragraphs are visual objects and there
are TextShapes, my fave Curl web markup language, Curl, (curl.com)
remains only as string-oriented as REGEX - despite having macros ...
! But if I work on a library there, I cannot help with PBE -;)

PEG-equivalent string parsing Rebol (2.7.6) may rise again as the Red
language ( red-lang.org ).  And Oz ?  Mercury remains active -
generating C, erlang ...

( on-going expression-based language + rules lament ... dirge ... )

Will Smalltalk yet evolve a useful document editing dialect decoupled
from version control and (separate concern!) release management?  Is
it one or more already ? By co-ordinating with a "valet" process which
uses rules with some backtracking ?
