README: included 'Other uses' section
Vicious modules can be resued for other objects, like awful tooltips or naughty notifications. We call a module directly and manipulate the result until we have some nice output to display. For example, a wifi widget could be a progressbar with the signal level, but on mouse enter a tooltip is created with ssid/mode/channel information.
