With apologies. I think I just sent a blank email to the list. In an ironic 
twist of fate (since I'm writing about a modal text editor), I hit the wrong 
button.  

I've been playing with this for a couple of days and while I'm still getting 
used to it, this plug-in does offer a compelling alternative to emacs-ess. ESS 
still has some advantages, but this is a very interesting plugin.
