This one excites me the most because it's so lightweight and Pd-like.
It's would probably be easy to build on Larry's work that Frank posted,
integrating SIOD and make it reconsistute the atoms to pass to SIOD for
compilation.

If you are going to go this way, why not make a generic code editing
object that can be used for the other embedded languages too? That way
you could use the one external for Python, Ruby, Scheme, C or whatever
takes your fancy.
