Neat idea. I've been using something like this with Acme from plan9port.

Acme's plumber lets the user customize behavior on a piece of text based on its context or a program that takes it as an argument.

Seems ages ago, but I wrote a post about its extensibility here: http://www.mostlymaths.net/2013/03/extensibility-programming...

I explained more or less how to use the plumber and endpoints, and gave a sample shell script and a reddit browser written in python you could plug into acme

oh yea, I remember your blog. As a matter of fact, it was one of few variable resources to learn about Acme's "API". Thanks for your work =)

Yes, there are very few resources about the "API", at least the original Acme/plumber papers are easy to read... And specially, the code is very straightforward in acme, the plumber or most of Plan9
