MINCE was short for "MINCE Is Not Complete Emacs".  The first good
editor I used, back in the late 70s.  It came with complete source
code and details on how to hack it, so I added a number of functions,
rather in the same way that you'd use macros in GNU Emacs.  For its
day, it was an excellent editor.
