Correctly implemented, it will get *rid* of a major feeping creature in elm... the "edit headers" screen. Just extract that screen to an external program, and us soi-disant experts can screw outrselves up however we like, the header editing screen will become easier to modify, and elm itself will become smaller. Everyone wins...
