I'm ok with this commit.

But there are documentation changes, T.C., is it still ok to change
documentation?

It would be nice to have a link to the available modelines, i.e. to \
configuring.docbook:  <sect1 id="config-variables">
  <title>Configuring With Document Variables</title>

If you have further issues, would be cool if you send more patches ;)
For instance, it would be good to be able to launch processes, like
  var content = system.execute("ls");
or
  system.execute("svn diff | kompare -o -");
and so on... ;)

Greetings,
Dominik
