I've been playing with this for a bit, and have really enjoyed the reword
command. I don't have much experience with the split subcommand.

I think I also vaguely recall some discussion about where these things should

But otherwise I generally am in favor of the idea and find it useful. I gave an
early review of the code but haven't looked closely at the newest version.
