[kepler-dev] Run with feedback --> Animate Execution

[Bertram Ludaescher]

I agree with myself ;-)

Laura's approach towards maximizing consistency is a very good
one. But in this particular case Dan's argument trumps: This command
does not run anything! (good observation)
So in fact it's more consistent to not say "run" when you do not run ;-)
