a feature i'd like to see added to ssh

[Skaperen]

a feature i'd like to add, or have added, or see added, to ssh is an exchange (added protocol layer) between a program run at the remote host and the client making the connection, offers an API to incrementally access a file, or multiple files, at the remote host, along with an action request sent by the remote host.   a special program on the remote host would be given a list of files on the remote host to edit.  it would then send special controls to trigger an editor in the client.  the local edit run by the client would request file data to be read for it and pass file data to be written.  in the end the user can do local speed interactive editing of a file on the remote shell.  other file activities could be done this way as well.  the change to ssh could be minimal.  added code would watch for the trigger and run a child program on the local host to do the rest an just shuffle data between the remote host and the child until the child exits.  after it exits, go back to normal operation.  everything else would be implemented in these external programs which could be implemented in Python.
