That would be IMO nice to do, but IMO was not a blocker for applying most of
this series now already, we can simply drop the local variant once it's
available through pwt.

To be honest, I'm not 100% sure yet either, but this is simple enough that it
should be possible to still change this with a simple migration/mapping of the
view config without _that_ much work, and we probably will only get a real
feeling for what's a better approach, if any, when using and extending this
one, so IMO also not a blocker.

Applied all but the last one that would enable editing, which is confusing to
have as long as it's ephemeral. Thanks for grouping and ordering the patches
this way!

For UX it would be nice to get a "cancle edit" button when in edit mode, while
one can switch to another top-level navigation entry to implicitly cancle
editing, that's naturally rather subtle and not ideal UX.

Getting an undo/redo stack would be nice and shouldn't be all to hard, but as
that's not that important to have from the start, it's rather low on the
priority list.
Basic mechanism could be a vector (maybe VecDeque) with a maximum capacity,
new changes get pushed to the front, oldes ones get dropped if maximum capacity
is reached, undoing steps is simply going back in the queue, redo is going
forward again, undoing and then editing something drops every change that was
newer (as branched undo like emacs has would be rather overkill ^^).
