Heh, I originally read the phrase "wound through it", and imagined a
long vowel, and thought to myself, "why yes, it is like a wound, an
ugly gash across the editor." :-)

It's not conceptually clean to do such a thing, but it turned out [in
this particular case] to require almost no change to the editor at
all. Just lucky.
