Great!
XEmacs already provides half of this. Simply double-click on an
S-expression while holding the Control key. Unfortunately, you cannot
replace a selection with it, though, just copy.
Also, to emulate the exact Jazz feature, you should not replace any text
if it is not selected.
Thanks Guillaume!
