+//! These are macros to make getting very nested fields in the `Editor` struct easier
+//! These are macros instead of functions because functions will have to take `&mut self`
+//! However, rust doesn't know that you only want a partial borrow instead of borrowing the
+//! entire struct which `&mut self` says.  This makes it impossible to do other mutable
+//! stuff to the struct because it is already borrowed. Because macros are expanded,
+//! this circumvents the problem because it is just like indexing fields by hand and then
+//! putting a `&mut` in front of it. This way rust can see that we are only borrowing a
+//! part of the struct and not the entire thing.
