Hi!
 i've been working on some scenes that require objects to be placed to
certain location, that aren't random, but aren't regular either...

What i'm thinking is that allowing the user to replace some keyboard
input by shelling to a command line program and then using STDOUT to
receive the data would be great...

Oh, and maybe also allowing the user to specify a
post-export(pre-render) program that will edit some parts of the program
could free some user of the hssles of creating a plug-in for only one
scene, etc
this would go well with a special plugin(1) that'd produce an object
with a specified name, where the input boxes would be like x,y,z,value
1, value 2(maybe a drop-down menu where you specify the type of object
you want to add, with the values to be entered changing according to the
choice, all configured via a text file), etc, eliminating the need for
most plug-in(like interface to inc files...), and leaving the remaining
jobs o what really HAS to be done by plugins(special interface, adding
to the interface, etc)

1 Instead of using a plug-in, you could sorta make that function
built-in moray(would permit you to have the same possibilities as the
plugin idea, but with a different button for each type of dummy object)

Just my 2 Yen 8)
