it would be nice to have a smart editor that is context senstive, where
if you point the mouse to a name and say right-click, it will show
properties of the thing pointed to, such as it type, the package it came from,
etc..
This way, one can have their cake and eat too. One can use 'use', but still
know from which packages things came from by simple point/click.
offcourse this editor must be free sourced and GPL'ed :) so eveyone can use it.
wonder if it possible to do such a thing with xemacs...
