Who uses peer text widgets?

Hi,

I'm considering making use of one of the new features of Tcl/Tk 8.5, namely peer text widgets.

I searched for existing code using this feature, in order to make my opinion about how mature this is, but I could only find peer text widgets in AlphaTk.

As far as I can see, there is exactly one application with peers:
http://www.google.com/codesearch?hl=fr&lr=&q=%22peer+create%22+lang%3Atcl
and one single bug report in the Tk tracker (# 1615425).

I've carefully read TIP 169, and the various wiki pages related to the subject:
http://wiki.tcl.tk/12124
http://wiki.tcl.tk/9662

I also made basic experiments using the bleeding edge cvs version of Tcl/Tk (HEAD branch).

I'm nevertheless still a bit shy wrt what I will find when I will want to really use peer text widgets.

Is there anything else I should know before jumping in that?

How mature are peer text widgets?

Any opinion or, even better, practical experiences?

Thanks,
Francois
