I wouldn't it like if the cppsupportpart knows about all the editors and 
how they can be accessed. It results in a huge switch statement for the 
single editors.
Better is to extend the KTextEditor interface with a for instance 
putStringInFile(const QString& text, int line, int column) method. Then 
the editor can handle it by itself (or not).
