Would it be possible to have the collapsing of empty paragraphs take
place when the user presses a newline anywhere else in the document?
Then you can freely move the cursor about to fetch a piece to insert,
but there will never be more than one "hole" waiting for the insert.

Solves the const-ness problem and still provides intuitive feedback to
the effect of "never having more than one hole pending". Do I miss
something?
