What do you think?

I think it is a terrific idea. Actually I've been thinking about implementing support for it (through a plug in) for some years now

The main obstacle though is how the plug in should expose the interface to whatever using it and still be a plug-in loaded into AC3D.
Andy mentioned something about a wrapper interface to the tcl scripting, that could parhaps be the solution - haven't looked into it though.
