*Implications*

1. We can now see clearly we must import *all* of pyzo's code into Leo. 
Exactly where doesn't matter. We can't adapt pyzo to Leo in any other way. 
This is a significant commitment for future devs.  Imo, it's probably worth 
doing, but we should confront the costs, particularly...

2. Comments of the form #EKR:change-(why)mark all significant changes. In 
future, if we want to take advantage of updates to pyzo, we would have to 
retro-fit those EKR changes back into the updated copy of pyzo's sources. 
This would likely take only a few hours.  The alternatives would be much 
worse.  Experience shows that we shouldn't even think about monkey-patches.
