It getting any object in any scene too, that is good.

I agree with this ideas, but I don't like much of
GetSelected to get Active in first, because it's two
distinct things when we have in the mind one only
scene it could be interesting, but working with many
scenes and layers I think better have other more sure
func like isActive maybe.

Well I tryed to add things to Scene submodule because
hierarchy in blender Structs.
