+1 for bringing this feature to the toolbar!

some additional questions
* i applied the patch and didn't have the icon in toolbar, i didn't examined 
why not yet.
* your screenshot shows the documents, i think this was not faked. So you 
see entries that are double. Is there a way to show which docs they are, may 
be which kind?
* if (TYPO3_REQUESTTYPE & TYPO3_REQUESTTYPE_AJAX) {...
i showed that this is not clear. These flags are set with any Ajax call. So 
we have the Lang-object initialized everytime even if it's not needed. i 
suggested a simple function to ask for specific ajaxID to have it clear
* why do you use array_unshift for register instead of common syntax 
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['typo3/backend.php']['additionalBackendItems'][] 
= ... ?

Anyway i think we should bring this feature in and improve it.
