If I remove it all in one commit then that can serve (actually more efficiently) as a way to look at the code.
Honestly, I'm skeptical if this code would actually help a person capable of implementing scripting.

It would be nice to get things cleaned up so we could use Doxygen at some point;
and obviously we don't want dead code exposed.

Reducing the number of functions in qc_applicationwindow will also help make it easier to read and find things.
