The problem is that when the editor is in the foreground, it has
control. So I don't think Sup would be able to suspend it. But it might
be possible to do something like catch SIGTSTP signals when the editor
is running, and file those process ids away for later resumption. You'd
have to suspend from within the editor, but the rest of the behavior
might be close to what you want. Interesting idea.
