But 'Vi' and 'Emacs' are arguable more a Way of Life than a mere editor -- also they are so widely known by many people (especially those with a Unix background) that there isn't much chance of confusion or ambiguity with their names.

Plus I can see that there's more of a chance for multiple Emacs and Vi related modules than Wily-related ones.


That possibly doesn't apply to 'Wily'. Or, more to the point, it certainly doesn't apply to every possible application that anybody could ever want to create a Perl interface to.

Agreed.

There are some 'Excel'-related modules in the Spreadsheet:: namespace.
I think creating an Editor:: namespace for 'Wily' would be reasonable.

I'd rather see TextEdit:: or TextEditor:: than the somewhat ambiguous Editor::, but I'd be happy to see a new name space for these sorts of things.
