With the merge of #155, entering Sphere point00 in the command listener is an error and leads to no sphere being created. For Actions invoked by gestures, typically (at the moment), the selection supplies the arguments. However, if one selects a point and then hits the "Add sphere" button, it adds a sphere just fine, ignoring the selection-qua-argument. This pair of behaviors seems asymmetric, and at least should be considered and a rational design adopted or the conventions clearly documented.
