That does look very promising, yeah. :)
I suppose I should volunteer for writing the doc patch for this.

I'll admit I didn't actually look at the impl of the widget, only the
documentation.

I thought widgets can take an arbitrary amount of arguments, although
it is true that almost none do. The newly added bracketed-paste takes
an argument that names the parameter to store pasted text in for
example. If you mean that you can't do it directly via bindkey then
yeah, that's true, you'd still need a wrapper widget. For my use-case
I could put the argument right in with the zle call though. (But with
PWS' suggested change, I can just insert (q-)LBUFFER/RBUFFER directly,
I think).
