On a side note.. I went looking to see if someone had an editor name
smaller than nano.
pico was the editor that nano replaces.
femto is an editor on Apple phones written in javascript
atto is an editor in the Moodle web app.
there is a zepto which is at https://github.com/hughbarney/zepto (and
also has an atto which is emacs like)

https://github.com/hughbarney/zepto#comparisons-with-other-emacs-implementations
gives size estimates from 3 years ago.

that leaves yocto which is a different distribution.. and nothing is
defined smaller than a yocto

in the end, we should just probably choose something.. we can always
change our minds in 6 months to something else.
