Title: Extract mappings into re-usable commands

This is useful if you want to create a mapping that uses visual-star-search
behind the scenes, for example with ack.vim you could create these mappings

nnoremap + *:AckFromSearch
nnoremap - #:AckFromSearch
vnoremap + :VStarSearch:AckFromSearch
vnoremap - :VPoundSearch:AckFromSearch
