This only takes you a bit on the way.  Code snippets and comments may be 
unbalanced at least when viewed as general text, contained strings, 
comments and '[' and ']' characters need to be ignored.  So what is 
needed even with emacs is a quicbook mode.  I guess this is an issue 
with any editor that fit your definition of what is an editor.
