I don't think that need be true. It could be designed so lYou don't
get the whole include, you get the relevant snippet. Eg, in C
int
add (float x, float y) <- decide to change prototype, type C-c M-p
[int add_ints (int addend1, int addend1);]
where the [] indicate either an undecorated popup (frame, window,
tooltip) or a transient insert in the buffer with point "trapped"
inside until you type C-c C-c).

That may be useful but I don't think that's what the OP has in mind
(it's called "quick edit", after all, not "interleaved edit"). I'm
pretty sure the snippet is not supposed to stay around.

Customize, except less heavyweight compared to a popup customize
buffer. Other recursive edits (minibuffer-at-point, anyone?)
