As I concluded in a private email thread that branched
off this public thread:

    Seems like what I am dreaming of is really
    yet-another-editor, likely using sam+samx as a code base,
    and for its core design element integrating the gui and
    command interface, but undergoing some major surgery, aimed
    entirely at X11 environments.

    Looks like I should choose yet-another-name for such a
    beast, if it ever gets past being my private toy.  I will
    read the license that comes with Sam again, to be sure I
    am fitting comfortably within its terms.

Not sure if I will go down this path or not - if you're
uncomfortable with it, let me know.

I might call it 'tam' -- because 't' comes after 's',
and because I used to work with a fine chap called
Sam Tam.
