Idea #11863: Add more "sensible" commands

Debian-based distributions have sensible-browser, sensible-editor and sensible-pager to launch an existing (or preferred?) browser, editor, or pager, respectively.

Why not also add ones for media-players (possibly differentiating sensible-audio-player and sensible-video-player), document-viewers, file managers (e.g. thunar vs. nautilus), image-viewers, terminal-windows, sensible-mailer (for sending e-mails), etc.?

This will allow one to write portable scripts that are agnostic about preferred or available applications.
