[development] View Source in Drupal

[Adam Gregory]

It would be a pretty trivial exercise to accomplish this. Just create a
module that adds a "View source" tab to the node. Then for that tabs content
simply render the output of node_view($node) into a textarea.
Boom! Quick and easy "view node source".
