The function is used to retrieve the codemirror editor object (js obj) from a Light Table editor atom.
Every editor in Lt is an atom (
https://github.com/LightTable/LightTable/blob/master/src/lt/objs/editor.cljs#L426), one of its properties is
a reference to the underlying codemirror editor)
You typically use the function when you need to invoke one of the many available codemirror editor related functions directly . For most cases you'd probably use
the provided wrapper functions already available in the lt.objects.editor namespace.
