Could Emacs be rewritten in Python?

Umm... If you're using Scintilla (or it's wxPython analog), you're not quite
doing what I suggested. Unlike Scintilla, Scite has buffer, file management
and other bells and whistles added that Scintilla does not have. A review of
the Scite classes' public methods might be instructive :)
