TBD? I still have to catch certain behaviors, such as what happens if
there is no change, or when a non-page is written to by no data. :-) I
accidently created a page via typo.

Um, er. Yes. An oversight on my part, but one I could rectfy.
Although, I have a vim syntax file that would not show up on
EDITOR--but that's my choice. Thanks for bringing this to my
attention.

Actually, I'm starting to rethink the GUI. After all, that would
require me to mirror PmWiki's markups via Python--a situation that
begs to be a maintenance pain as PmWiki grows. It would be better to
leave it as a CLI with syntax markup.
