I've abandonded any hope of doing any real work this evening and
bashed on this a bit more. There's a new tarball on the starship that
implements a first attempt at a general code editing framework, and a
(buggy) implementation of an attribute freezer.

Comments are very much appreciated! My background isn't in this kind
of stuff (heck, I'm a mathematician), so if someone knows a better way
of organising things, I'd certainly like to know
