I said I would show you all what I am thinking about and what Roland
says he is using is shown in the blog post above, the ASDoc Editor AIR
application.
I will be grateful to get the compiler's AST in the hands of the
developer because of an application like this.

I've been fortunate to test out some of Michael's work on ASDoc tooling, I
can say they are well worth it :)
As for the compiler hooks, I guess we'll have to wait for Adobe to donate
the new Falcon compiler before we can start having fun with those ideas.
