I think the most likely way to handle this is by iterating over the 
selections, and re-run the command for each, but that would only be for 
commands that have no input/output or which work on the selection.

It might be more complex with other combinations of input/output, and 
for some commands, it might make sense to opt in to “run only once, 
and get everything”.

Though even though we have moved to beta, this particular issue is far 
down on the list, but it’s certainly a personal desire to have 
commands (and snippets, which should be simpler) work with multiple 
carets…
