Thanks for sharing your proposal, Sébastien. This kind of feedback
directly from an extension developer is very valuable for us.

As far as I can see all of your requests make sense. I think we will
try to implement them, step by step. One thing that I have been
wondering is whether we should try to keep compatibility with the old
interface - currently it's exactly the same as in 1.4, except that
it's a D-Bus call instead of DCOP - or if we should make a new start
and clean up the interface, remove inconsistencies and so on.

Currently I tend to prefer the former solution, as for one it's less
work, and second it makes it possible to port existing scripts very
easily. What do you think?
