Right now, the closest we have is the "shell" command and user-defined
commands.
We're planning to add Python scripting support; I really hope that we
will have this ready for the next release (not the upcoming 6.7, the
one after that). That will probably be more useful. In the mean
time, I suspect you can do some useful things with shell and macros.
