Text input (and other stuff) with Dasher

Dasher is a strange way of zooming into words and sentences. It would be nice to see if Dasher could be used for text input somehow. It has word prediction built in. There are other uses too. Imagine zooming into the right phone number for one of your dear ones. Or zooming into the right tune among thousands in the media app.
