Hint mode functions

This file contains functions to interact with hint mode.

If you want to bind them to keyboard shortcuts, be sure to prefix them with "hint.". For example, if you want to bind control-[ to reset, use:

bind --mode=hint <C-[> hint.reset

Contrary to the main tridactyl help page, this one doesn't tell you whether a specific function is bound to something. For now, you'll have to make do with :bind and :viewconfig.
