Nice!

In general, I like to refer to editors like acme as an IDE, but not an 
"integrated development environment". I refer to it as an "integrating 
development environment" instead, as it doesn't provide a fully integrated 
solution to certain problems, but is constructed in a way that makes it easy to 
integrate other tools of the environment (like the active version of 
"integrate") and be integrated (passive) into an existing environment.

Like, instead of using the IDE to never touch any other tool, it provides 
enough surface for the developer to actually use the other tools directly in an 
integrated way.

What would still be nice is a better integration between acid and acme. Like, 
setting breakpoints on the editor line, printing the value of the selected 
variable and stuff like that. I want to work on it, but I have a few other 
projects before that.
