The procedures registered with the 'ined menu' command are called
from tkined with the list of selected objects. This list uses the
representation as described in the ined(n) man page. Only the <id>
element of this representation (which is like a handle for that
object) is used by most of the 'ined' command.
I know, this is confusing and I would do it in a different way if I
would start again. The reason for inventing the list representation
was that it reduces the number of interactions between tkined and the
process executing the script. The mistake was that I did not hide this
optimization from the API. (It is relatively simple to cache the list
representation in the implementation of the ined command.)
