Wmutils: write your window manager as a shell script

I'm down to "notification zone/widget" "status zone/widget" and "the omnibar to end all omnibars" An omnibar in this context is one of the multipurpose text input controls like the cmd-space search box in OS X or the Command Palette in Sublime Text and Atom.
The key being that such an omnibar has to have access to EVERYTHING. From "set system volume 25%" and "mute chrome" to "close sublime text" and beyond. The syntax would probably be one of the hardest things to do correctly. Think OS X without the dock and you'll be heading in the right direction.
