First, this is only possible on a 64-bit host. And second, we are not
there yet, although we are close, as the most basic editing already
works. However, several bugs still remain, and I hope to work on
squashing them soon. When it's done, there surely will be an
announcement here.
As for documentation, there's nothing to document, because we don't
document bugs we fixed ;-)
