Of course there's nothing text stream cannot do. Because, at the very worst, you can always feed the text stream to parser to convert it to structured object.

Of course there's nothing text stream cannot do. Because, at the very worst, you can always feed the text stream to parser to convert it to structured object. But I don't want to do the gluing. I want to refactor code, not to teach the tool how o understand the code. Why do you need text editor when everything are just bytes?
