yes, kate UI has some similar situation, beside work on the part, the app gets
not that much polish, beside by anders, who does a great job here ;)

Kate does support splitting and so on, not thought interface, but hey, we could
agree on some "app proxy" interface for this, like the browserextension or whatever

our lua stuff is in child age ;) guess many changes will happen there, and yes, some \
common subset of methods would be nice to agree on.

If trunk is kde4 branch once again, I will start on working that Kate supports \
KTextEditor parts native, and add the missing interfaces needed to get this first \
running, which we can adjust later to be more generic if needed.

Our both teams would benefit from this merge, Kate would get an additional editor \
style, which vim users like, and yzis would have a ui which ships per standard with \
any kde out there and which is already used by lots of people ;)
