It would be possible to define a canonical AST storage format. Then,
your editor could "incarnate" the AST in the syntax of your choosing.

A Python source file is an AST storage format, only it's not canonical.
IOW, more than one Python source file can produce identical AST's. That
isn't a problem for the specialized editors but it can be a problem for
text editors, source code control etc.
