[Cuis-dev] [RFC] AsciArt for UnicodeInput

[Luciano Notarfrancesco]

Oh, I see, I guess you had to implement something separate for \. in Editor
because \ is implemented in SmalltalkEditor and doesn’t work in general
Editors. How about moving the implementation of \ up to Editor, so we don’t
need \.? Or is \. something that you specifically want instead of \?
