I took a glance at the MmmmTools features - I'd say that a couple of
items are probably scriptable in K-3D today; many are features that
don't exist in K-3D, but would already be scriptable if they did,
without any scripting-specific changes, and yes, I have it in mind that
full-on tools (i.e. interactive tools) should be scriptable, too.

This is the kind of high-level, strategic requirement that is helpful to
have in front of us as we start the design work, so keep 'em coming.

Cheers,
Tim
