This is probably the right observation.  As I wrote in another email,
#zapSelectionWithCompositionWith: was written for the OLPC Etoys
image, independent from the editor rewrite work going on in the trunk
image.  I even wasn't aware that this is in the trunk, and nobody else
was really paying attention.

That said, it should be the right thing to keep this method in and fix
the editor (which is as simple as David did.  Just assume multiple
characters coming in and have a loop).
