You are joking, aren't you?  I want *structured* editing, this is, for
example, defining a template

  struct foo {
    int16 bar;
    int32 baz;
  }

which can be used later on as

  foo[32];

and which gets applied to a certain address, and where, for example, I
can modify a value with

  foo[12].bar=1;

or something similar.

A commercial product which looks quite promising is

but this is for MS Windows only.
