I've only thought about it briefly.  Schevo supports that kind of GUI-
driven
general editing, but with the types of constraints that people are
familiar
with from relational databases.

I haven't thought about it much because the interactive client seems
so good for this: it automatically supports every schema-scheme that
can be used with Durus.  I think it would be hard to make a useful
GUI-driven editor without constraining values to specific patterns.
Still, it could be done and it could be valuable, as I think
schevo demonstrates.
