making the state available to programs doesn't really cut it for me.
for it to be useful in moment-to-moment interactions with acme,
it must be visible on screen, in the same way that the dirty
bit has the top left indicator (well, mostly).

well, i've gone all these years without it, so it is redundant in that
sense, but it still feels a bit awkward when browsing a large file
and right clicking one-too-many times, that i have to copy the
text to the tag, insert :-/, reselect and/or quote metacharacters,
and click. it's a sequence i often get slightly wrong too
by getting the selection slightly out.

a single-click reverse search would quickly internalise and be
very useful i think. the difficulty is coming up with the right way of
doing it.
