I'd forgotten to update the CONFIGURATION document. For a "complex" binding, 
you do not have to use
 <custom command> stuff
any more, but can simply enter
 stuff
in the action field.

My previous post was not entirely clear. The added 'set'-related commands 
set/clear variables in the shell in which e2 is running (it can be run as a 
daemon, not sure if that affects things).

The question then becomes: should e2 still support internal variables (for 
reasons other than backward-compatibility, anyway).
