Just from my init.el:

     (:name "newbug" :query "to:samba-maintainers  subject:\"New:\" " :key "n")
...
  (shell-command-to-string "perl -i -pE 's/(li><a
href=\"#\\S+?\">)(\\d|\\.)+ /$1/' ~/TODO.html")
...
         (shell-command-to-string "notmuch search --limit=1
--sort=newest-first --output=messages 'tag:sent subject:\"work
report\"'")))
...

      (shell-command-to-string
       (format (concat "cd %s && git show -s '--pretty=format:%%h
(\"%%s\")' %s;"
               "echo -e '\n'$?")

...

(defvar moz-useful-functions "
function add_or_reload_url (url) {
    var i = find_tab_with_url(url)
    var t = \"\"
    if (i < 0) {
    t = gBrowser.addTab(url)
    } else {
    gBrowser.browsers[i].reload()
        t = gBrowser.tabs[i]
    }
    select_tab(t)
}
")
...
    (moz-send-string (concat "add_or_reload_url(\"file://"
(expand-file-name fn) "\");\n"))))
...
           (insert "<style type=\"text/css\">\n<!--/*--><![CDATA[/*><!--*/\n")
...

I've given a list of my use cases and I genuinely don't see cons,
assuming it gets properly implemented. I'm sorry if you listed them
earlier I must have skipped over.
