I do not like this too, but this is a viable approach. Our main goal
should be API and command-line tools. But this approach opens a door
for other developers (not core engine developers) to provide different
tools accessible via SQL. Let Upscene, for example, develop such
plugin and earn money with it, if there is a market for it.
