Doing what Thomas suggested wouldn't actually be particularly hard, 
since it's just replacing /me with something else when the user presses 
space.  We've talked in the past about doing this in a fancier way, 
where different commands/sub-items would be rendered differently, which 
would take widget work, but this doesn't require that.  It just needs a 
keystroke event handler that looks at the previous few characters, which 
  oughtn't hurt performance.

Doing what Mimi suggested would be even simpler, trivial, actually.

Sincerely,
Jeffrey
