And howcome that is that not a tool? A Swiss
army knife and a combination plier is not
a tool either, as they contain different tools?
A toolbox is not a tool, as you can put
different tools in it? A milling machine is not
a tool, as you can use it to make yet another
tool? Maybe even a tool to improve the milling
machine itself?
No, Emacs is a tool.
Rather, Emacs is the exception that confirms
the Unix rule...

One can do that with the single `undo' command,
as I described in (I think) my previous post.
(I'm sure I'm not the first/only one doing that
and probably not the last either.)

Line numbers, here meaning the functionality,
not a vertical ruler by the side, is very
useful - when compiling, when communicating,
when editing. Indispensible I'd say (in the
context of and advanced editor, of course).
