No problem, you're welcome!

No, actually I'll block new "features" for 1.0 there. 0.99 is supposed
to be a preview release and 1.0 should (ideally) only contain bug fixes.
(Ideally, because Stephe checked in some non-critical changes to
userland conflicts command which improve the UI there, but thats the
farest anybody can get with me for 1.0.)

They are just hard-wired as before. Doing more complex things via Lua
would make selectors just too slow to be useful.
