Many thanks to the following people and projects for sharing their great work, upon which a lot of this was based!

• Many thanks to Pavel Spirhanzl and Alexandre Pajak for their keen eyes in identifying bugs in early versions.
• Gary Bernhardt's Text Editor From Scratch screencast.
• Anthony Sottile's babi.
• nano source.
