With apologies, I am reposting "editor for C". Most of my text, all but the
last line, was lost due to my unfamiliarity with the editor on the system I
use for rn (not my normal machine).  I thought I was refreshing the screen
but instead zapped it!  I cancelled the original posting.

What I wanted to say is that an editor that understands things like
declarations would be nice.  That would be even better than allowing multiple
windows on the same file, a feature that very few editors have.  If the editor
understood declarations, I could just ask it something by name without having   
to open another window and find the proper statement.  Another thing I'd like
is lint-like functions, happening automatically while I'm editing.

Does such an editor exist?  Or what's the closest?  Do people do these things
with macros in standard editors?
