Option number 2 is what I used in the MockTurtle demo.  This project
only used a code editor in the local proxy instead of tile scripting,
and when the edit was accepted the script text was first locally
syntax checked and then sent to the associated replicated object.
This was actually lots of fun, but needed to have some "future"s
handcoded in the edited source as I recall.  Some keystrokes in the
harness directed to the target replicated object caused editing or
script execution to start.  In my isolated testing, this worked just
fine.
