what use case do you have in mind for short names inside JS?

Well, again, I'm not sure about _short_ names. But a function to make it
easier to deal with lists of objects would certainly be useful, indeed.
Perhaps even as compressed as
function getObjectList(id) {
return ('rk.list (' + getValue(id).split ("\n").join (", ") + ')');
}

Yes. However, some of the stuff in common.js is not really common (to the R
code generating JS, and the JS used inside the GUI logic). I'll have to sort
that out one day.

Ok, go ahead, but please be somewhat conservative. Once plugins start using
these functions, they'll be more or less set in stone, so we should be careful
not to add stuff that are not really needed.
