The editors in Squeak (in browsers, for example) deal with live objects: instances of class String. They might include any sequence of characters. Including those you don't like.
In Squeak, the editor is the way a developer has to interact (i.e. edit) String objects. It is not an end-user editor adapted to whatever end-user needs you have in mind.
Hmm.. i was always thinking that text editor is for editing the text, not Strings. :)
Then may be you're wrong.
Look, we write tools for users, but not for machine. Same as we should invent languages to serve for developers, not for compilers.
Dev tools are for developers. That's what the base system is about. Not about the machine, not about end-users. Just developers.
