(pre-v6) BBEdit did scripting in a very, very non-object-model sort of way.
Even now, their handling of text is distinctly different to STE, the
standard text suite, and AS's own text handling.
They also introduced other minor "corruptions" to the language, like
insisting on "save ... to ..." rather than "save... in ..." for no good
purpose that I can see.
