Yes, it's practically the same objectclass. For now it's called
[vessel~] instead of [lua~] but that might change.

I won't do this: The tk-editor is not very usable and other
editor widgets would add dependencies I'd like to avoid. Most people
will want to use their favourite editor anyway.

Maybe it's possible to use os.execute() in scripts on your own to
start an editor, but it also may introduce platform issues.

That could be useful, but it's not high on my todo list for now.
