These operators are used for the same.
But it doesn't work with lexicon keys (SWKey).
Only with versekey because they can use the book, chapter and verse arrays 
(->canon.h).
Since we have a module pointer we should use it so at least OreviousVerse and 
NextVerse work with commentaries.

I agree :)

Oh,  thank you Martin!
