Description
Monaco is a great editor for providing programmatic interfaces for users to an application.
One feature that'd significantly help with the user experience is to make specific lines read-only, such that user can enter their code within a specific block (e.g., between a function block).
Would it be possible to include this as a core features/API of the editor?
