It's not doable reliably in the function call based configuration of 
Ion. You'd have to work with a fixed set of command instead, and define
a command for every action that the user might want to do, in addition
to providing the scripting API. It's extra work that I don't want at
this point, the Ion architechture being what it is, although the menu
system does already have some "commands".

Now, if someone wants to provide an alternative configuration system
on top of the scripting API, go ahead... for ion3plus perhaps. Although,
the proper place for such command sets is Vis... [1]
