Correctly implemented, it will get *rid* of a major feeping creature in
elm... the "edit headers" screen. Just extract that screen to an external
program, and us soi-disant experts can screw outrselves up however we
like, the header editing screen will become easier to modify, and elm
itself will become smaller. Everyone wins...

I'd implement it, except that under this old System III based Xenix/286
I'm running as fast as I can already just to stay in one place.
