The quote from #32989 is from my msg313179, msg313179.

There are two levels of duplication.  First, between Hyperparser and EditorWindow.  Second between editor and shell branches.  While I said before to resolve the first with an EditorWindow method, as done in the patch, a hyperparser function, with 'self' replaced by 'editwin' would be possible.  I might prefer that.

The second level of duplication could be handled by a method in EditorWindow overridden by a method in PyShell.  But with duplication between the branches removed as in the patch, leaving the Shell branch so short, this does not seem as worthwhile.  I suspect/expect it would be even less so after future Shell changes.
