New syntax/capability for WQL:
{"prepend": "foo", "type": "Place"}
returns all Place cards plussed to foo, e.g.:
foo+Eugene
foo+Chicago
fpp+Fort Collins
etc.
{"append": "my current cards", "type": "User"
returns all User cards plussed to my current cards, e.g.:
John Abbe+my current cards
Jean Russell+my current cards
etc.
If the specified card is not a valid virtual card, it should still be renderable as a link or something.

I want to point out that we could achieve something very close to our "+tickets by status" with this if we made a "status" cardtype and made the status setting a pointer to it. You would search for all the stati and plus them to a search that found all the tickets pointing to each status.
Lew might shoot my implementation down for performance reasons, but it sure was easy.

Not working. See:
http://new.wagn.org/wagn/Related_forms (append)
http://sandwagn.wagn.org/wagn/prepend_test
Also, is it intentional that the syntax for prepend has no + while the syntax for append does? I'd be inclined toward having no + required for either (and maybe working with it anyway if we want to be forgiving).

actually, that was my bad on the docs. Right now it doesn't require + for either, but part of me wants to require the + to leave open the possibility of having it work with non plus related patterns. but that's not super easy to justify.

I'd actually never tested this one in the browser, only in the automatic tests, and so I had to make a little fix that had more to do with interpreting the JSON than updating the functionality. may have knocked out a couple of other tickets along the way. (I'll hunt)

This rocks. Documenting.
