GSoC: command and get obeyed ! + draft

[Jordi Polo]

The thing is klipper, it uses regular expresions and polling to X
mouse selection to achieve that.
I plan to make krunner able to run any information of klipper and if
the ideas of my other email are considered as possible, we can move
that to a better place (leaving the same user interface if needed).

The problem with having only one mode is that commands are supposed to
achieve concrete things in a reliable way. It can be very error prone
to distinguish them and dangerous (look for remove ...)
