Agreed. That's the reason why I'm proposing src/tools/editors in the
first place. I find that it's enough for most of the Nodes I've been
dealing with recently (all the ones that initdb uses, for starters), and
for the other ones it helps a lot in adding the to-be-hand-edited code
at the right place in the right files.

The goal for this tool is to be more useful an advice to Emacs users
than the usual "pick another patch that added syntax in the past and try
to reproduce what it did as far as nodes support functions goes".

I can also maintain that in a separate git repository on github, but
that only reduces the already very thin population that could find it
useful.
