I agree: nothing should be done without an explicit example of how it  
will actually improve matters. For example: editor XYZ can be used to  
sensibly edit JS/C#/Java/whatever code in an RTL language, and could  
also be used to edit python if only python did <insert helpful thing  
here>. Anything else seems to be simply wild speculation, and should  
not be implemented on the off chance that it might be useful in the  
future.
