This is interesting, but it seems to me that there may well be IDE related stuff that doesn't really have anything to do with Document. An IDE class or
something like that might be more appropriate in that case.

OK: for example the Cocoa help menu thing is IDE-specific, it only
runs on SC.app, and we don't really think of it as being a documenty
feature. But the very nature of Document is tied to the IDE - the
document is a feature of the IDE, and can't be separated from it -
which is why I wonder if a separate class would actually be
superfluous.

Grateful for further thoughts on this.

Yeah I understand what you mean. Maybe you get the local doc class from an IDE class? I don't know. I think we need a proper spec for this.

I'd like to see sc-eclipse become a nice option even for
non-eclipse-heads. That requires a good slimmed-down eclipse bundle,
but also good handling of Document functionality etc.

Yes, that would seem to have a lot of potential. How does it deal with help?
