Code review comment for lp://staging/~waldner/terminator/plugin-ng

For an example plugin, see https://github.com/waldner/terminator-runwith-plugin (needs the plugin-ng patched terminator, of course). There are some (admittedly simplistic and a bit silly) usage examples there as well.

I'll think about the name (suggestions welcome). What I use it for is to extract patterns from the terminal text (regex can include context, later thrown away, to avoid false matches) and use them as arguments to an external program or command. Think: you have a filename, and want to open it with your editor of choice. You have a github URL, and you want to run "git clone" with it. (more to be added)
Right-click on the element, runwith -> yourcommand and you're done. I'll try to come up with more use cases. Perhaps it's not a popular thing to do, but it definitely helped me.
