This looks good!

Now, do we make one bundle with all sorts of link creation stuff, or  
try to categorize things out in other bundles (like this special  
Yahoo Services bundle)? I am leaning toward just the single bundle.

We’d move Wrap Selection as Link and the current Google Lucky stuff  
to that bundle as well (and remove the current specialization of it  
for Markdown/HTML/«whatever»).

I made the Wrap Selection as Link spot Amazon URLs (and shorten  
these), so I think we can remove the Shorten Amazon URL from Web  
Searches, and thus entirely remove that bundle.

There is also your wikipedia stuff, which should be updated to use  
templates, and then I definitely want all this among the default  
bundles :)
