+Removed "this" from command functions and instead pass "editor" as first arg.  Javascript's object-oriented features are a disgusting hack and should never be used.  I will remove uses of this as I encounter them.
+
 Add optional "icon" to command spec.
 
 Formats set default format so the "format" option isn't needed.
