There's some possible area for conflict like if someone has an old command that does 'xdotool ... exec some command %1' and the user expected a literal "%1" to get passed as it has previously... but now xdotool will replace the %1 with a window id (or an error message). Other things needing improvement before merging:

exec commandexec command: Add support for window stack references (%1, %@, etc)
command Window references will be replaced on the command-line in the same position that they occurred. In case of %@ (all windows), multiple arguments are inserted. For example, if the window list is two entries: 123, 456 `exec echo Hello %2` will run the command exactly as this list [echo, "Hello", "456"] `exec echo World %@` will run the command exactly as this list [echo, "World", "123", "456"] with each window id being a separate argument.
