MacroLanguage for Otter Browser

K-Meleon has it's own macro language http://kmeleonbrowser.org/wiki/MacroLanguage2?switchlang=en
So maybe it is a good idea to add the same feature for Otter? What do you think about it?

AFAIK, there is a kind of framework for scriptlets. Maybe the language for scriptlets has already been chosen.

@timur dokhnadze ("Epic"), as noted by ersi, we are going to use scriptlets, taking advantage of existing ECMAScript (JS) interpreter, exposing at least some of the APIs available for extensions.
Inventing own language is a bad idea, it's better to expose APIs for something that already exists, especially when it is needed anyway.
