Better, a CL editor extending a general purpose base editor  
implemented in CLOS. That way, application developers can use the  
base to build other editors than for LISP. I've used Fred  
functionality as a foundation to build other editors used in my  
applications, specifically for text editing and XML editing. Doing  
this with Fred was possible but kind of a drag, because you'd have to  
disable LISP functionality rather than just extend base editor  
classes. I know, this goes beyond building an IDE to provide reusable  
functionality for applications, so it might be beyond the scope of  
the project, but may still be good practice.
