Oke,

I changed the contract to Editor -> Number.
When I change the make-editor function the value changed.
So I think the check-expect is wrong but I have no clue how to change it.

I find the way with overlay and beside more the hard way. I have puzzled 
a lot of time with it without success and this solution cost me a half a 
hour.
