... and it is not an unimportant factor, that joe has a decent finite
state machine language for the syntax hl, instead of the usual _awful_
regexp hacks that both jed and emacs use. (Yes, regexps are FSMs, but
ones without labelled states/side effects, so you have to combine
them with hacks at the outer level, instead of simply specifying the
syntax in the structure of the FSM.)
