Marcus, would that make sense to:

* extract the core of the AST navigation as an API onto the RB AST (the
ability to go up, down, left and right in a RB AST, basically), i.e. trying
to preserve that way a bit some of the patterns solved by the AST
navigation...

* and reduce whatever is linked with the GUI / text morph components ?

Oh, looking at the code, the two aspects are implemented together, so it
will be painfull to refactor. Looking a bit more at the code... I'm
interested by the rationale for askForNodeSelectionFrom:
