I agree. These tools are now added to the GAL mode as well. Writing a
GAL tool was quite fun, actually!

The code has been rebased to take advantage of some tweaks that Orson
put in to do with selections in GAL. I couldn't get (git-)bzr to push a
rebased branch, so I re-created the branch, which seems to have blown
away the existing merge request. Sorry about that!

The merge request is at:

Thanks,
