Description
I'm an old unix hacker, and whenever I am working in an environment with a specialized shell, I take advantage of the OS escape of a ! command. Could we implement that in the Roo shell, so if I'm trying to remember the name of a file, I can execute:
roo> !ls src/main/java/com/foo/bar
one two three
roo>
Maybe not super relevant but I thought it might be helpful and I can keep the number of shells down while I'm working.

Hi Ken,
This is really the kind of functionality that can easily be added through an external add-on. To prove my point I just took 20 mins to create a simple addon and publish it to Google code and RooBot.

But it seems to work fine for me so far on OSX. Feel free to fork it or contribute to it should you need more functionality.
I'll go ahead and close this ticket.
