Unfortunately, the editor is not documented to be extensible, so
approaches 2 and 3 will require revising that struct, which will be a lot
of work. If someone wants to take that (whictch we will need to do at
some point for other things), that'd be great, but I'm not sure I think
this feature need to block on that, especially since it can be useful
without the ideal genericity.

To make sense, this has to be prohibited on the server side.

I agree. I don't think the change revprop hooks should be called.
The pre-commit hooks can do necessary checking.
