Well, that is it more or less :) This has come up more in the context of
some musical software I've been writing - as you can't use DrScheme for
live coding music, as it breaks the flow every time it re-evaluates.

Having an option for DrScheme would be perfect, but I realise these are
somewhat niche requirements, so my backup plan is to roll my own editor
- I've actually just cobbled something rudimentary together using the
editor-canvas in about 20 lines!
