Redirect is actually a good idea to implement. The only reason that it 
does not exist, is that noone needed it so far.

The name could be followUrl? or redirect?

I believe also plone-followLink and plone-submitForm has to come into a 
separate command set, since it is not Plone or even Zope specific. 
Together with the newly proposed followUrl (?) action.

These all together can either go into the core command set, or it may 
even be a better idea to make a separate "url" (?) command set that is 
responsible for url and submit related functionality.

If we keep it separate it even has the advantage that it can be developed 
independently and if ready we can distribute it with the core. Also we 
don't bloat "core" plugin unnecessarily big.

Opinions?
