It's an interesting idea and very powerful. Definitely advanced usage 
though, so perhaps not for an 1.0 version. We would make many people 
very happy if we did add scripting, I'm sure and if at all possible it 
does make sense to emulate nautilus' scripting environment. This 
wouldn't be very high on my personal list of things to implement fora 
simple file manager, though.
