Just the file dialogs -- well there may be another corner I'd
disrecommend, but nothign comes to mind right away.

handler:* is still good, yep.

Okay. I'll keep my eyes open too. I tried to be careful to keep the
generic editor-level functionality separate from the text- and
pasteboard- stuff, but the pasteboard-based stuff doesn't get used as
much so I could easily have made a mistake.
