    TB! will soon be on Linux.  The issue isn't what the user will do, but
what the programmers will do.

    Which needs to be defined for each editor.  Most editors can't even
implement anything more complex than a simple search and replace correctly.  I
doubt they would even begin to consider this.  No, the file open/close method
is the best because it works with everything regardless of the competency of
the programmers.
