Indeed. I'm not sure what the context is, but one example: when you
resize the drscheme frame, the boxes containing purple text (what went
to stdout) need to resize. That code is in the wide-snip-mixin in
plt/collects/framework/private/canvas.ss. Let me know of you have any
questions.

At some point in the future, we should have a horizontal-pasteboard%
and vertical-pasteboard% classes that operate like the
horizontal-panel% and vertical-panel%, but manage editors. That might
also be of interest too.
