I think the text and buffer manipulation functions are probably the
most useful to me personally, though it would be nice if we could
script the whole interface in Lisp - which would require things like
key mapping functions.
The more functions the better really, because there is sometimes a
disconnect with what you ought to use.  For example I recently wanted
to get the word under the cursor and went looking for a Vim function
(iw, I think) - but it was easier to get the whole current line
(get-line), then trim the string down to the word around the cursor.
I'd also like a function to get the text of the current visual
selection :)

I think that I am, but don't have anything specific in mind.
