Exposing an 'escaped' like function.

[lemnos]

I was in the process of writing a vimscript function which requires the current netrw file and started looking at your code for guidance. It seems exactly of what I need is implemented in your 'escaped' script function and is exposed as a keybinding. I imagine I am not the only one who might find such a function useful, perhaps you can consider exposing it for plugin developers and people who write their own vim functions.

I'm generally hesitant to commit to maintaining APIs. I'm inclined to suggest you instead invoke . directly with something like .YourCommand<CR>, until I hear a reason that's insufficient.
