[Nano-devel] Feat.suggestion: Feed marked txt to external command

[Andrew]

Hello,

I have a feature suggestion for my all-time favorite editor: Feed marked 
text to external command.

When this feature is invoked, marked text is piped to a user-specified 
UNIX program (e.g. sort, column, grep, sed). If the output of the 
program (to stdout) is not empty AND no error code was returned, the 
marked text is replaced by the program's output (the original marked 
text is preserved in the cut-buffer, in case the results are not as 
expected).

What do you all think?

Thanks for your time and best regards.

Andrew
