AFAIK it doesn't.

Yep.

Yep, we should probably move it to libbe and simply let Tracker make use of 
it. The only drawback -- if you want to consider it as one -- is that other 
applications that would formerly use Tracker scripting thus circumvent the 
Tracker Undo/Redo feature. Unless we add a notification mechanism, that 
allows the Tracker to get notice.
