Why wouldn't you?
(yah, snotty reply, sorry. What I mean is... we do that all the time,
with syntax highlighting, moving the debugger "spot" around, Customize
(yes, we know you don't like that one). If you press me, hey, UTF-8.
What you see in your editor is already the result of layers upon layers
of representation and cheating (newline? tab? C'm on! ;)
The nice thing about Emacs is that it not only caters for my (or your)
needs :-)
Cheers
