Presenting: CherryPicker - mark segments to have them listed elsewhere

[Mat]

CherryPicker - apply "natural markers", made up as you type, to mark out segments ("cherries") in one or several tiddler texts. Call the cherrypicker macro to get the cherries extracted and presented as a list.

A bit like #hashtagging but with custom marks.

It is a BETA release... (or no release at all)... because there are issues in it that I can't solve. @logicTWizards - In particular I have some logic challenges in how to make the filters cover all cases to split out the marked segments. 

The concept was first(?) requested over a year ago. It's so "basic" in some sense, that it is actually surprising TW doesn't feature it.

This is an interesting idea. I think that we could find some interesting ways to use this with twederation.

Yeah, for sure, but we'd need a more robust implementation of it. Probably even in js - I have a feeling that a purely wikitext based solution (like CherryPicker) is too blunt. For instance, I think one would need to do more safety checks such as not extracting unintentional parts... e.g calling for @max shoudn't trigger for @@max-width:100px; ...@@.
