In principle, they are. The reason I put the functions in a separate .h file 
was that some composite functions can be shared, and that I was dissatisfied 
with most of them and wanted to keep them in quarantaine, so to speak. Many 
of the composite ops don't work like they should, and we should have 
composite ops between different image types. Gwenview uses some code
from  http://lignumcomputing.com which implements all Gimp's composite ops, 
and we could do worse than borrow their code. It's on my todo, but I don't 
think I'll get round to that any time soon.
