To make the ACTION arg attractive for a wider range of use cases, I
believe it would be helpful to provide a function that can help with
this. Yet currently my understanding of the ACTION machinery is too
limited for more specific suggestions of how such a function should
work and hook into this machinery. (Certainly it is not desirable
if multple packages wanting to use such an approach had to invent
the wheel repeatedly.)
