A provocative ticket.

Jan K. has shown me a codemirror-based editor implementation within the inspector and it impressed me a lot.
- It is a 3K lines
- Its runtime footprint is better (438MB of 600KLOC vs ~650MB for existing editor)
- It loads file faster (5s for 600KLOC vs ~20s for existing editor)
It is currently available under the MIT license which we should be ok with.

The downside is that inspector contributors don't know the source base and it is evolving rapidly. But if we get a nice agreement for the support from some of the codemirror members, it should be Ok though.
