An interesting question. If a caller uses get_default_editor(), then
it's safe to add new functions, just as we can add new fields to the
libsvn_client context structure. But I don't think we document that
requirement anywhere.

We could of course have a new editor type and an old editor type, and
rev all the functions which accept an editor.
