The center area of the toolbar is intended for modules to inject page-specific actions or controls. We've experimented with using MENU_LOCAL_ACTIONS to register these actions, but that just doesn't seem to be the right mechanism. At the moment I've fallen back to carving out a space in .toolbar-bar .section.actions that flexes its width to fill in the available space between the navigation and user buttons. Module could use JavaScript to plunk their controls into this space. Not ideal, I know. Better options would be much appreciated.

So I am not sure I understand this idea, this an area where "something" will be placed? It doesn't really seem to have a clear usecase or purpose.
