+/* Where to go next:
+
+1. Noun-first completions.  If you type "london", it matches no verb, so
+the parser looks at the known noun categories, sees that "london" could be
+a city, and then looks for verbs that take cities and suggests
+fly to london
+fly from london
+nuke london
+
+2. If you have a selection, put the magic word "this" ( or "selection" ) into your sentence to indicate where you want the selection to go, e.g.
+email this to aza  (with content selected)
+vs
+email hello there to this    (with an email address selected)
+
+3. Allow the possibility of a multiple-word indirect-object
+
+4. Preview output of topmost or hilited command, as you type.
+
+5. When a command is executed, put its output in a special buffer that forms
+the implicit selection for the next command.  In this way commands can be
+chained conversationally, without the need for a special word or key to
+link them together.
+
+6. More complex datatypes, like dates, that allow for multiple input formats.
