Yes, as I said, my comment was not at all related to what you actually
committed.

I think this topic has been brought up before, and such a wrapper would
definitely be a great addition.

The biggest issue here is not coding it (because that is pretty simple), the
biggest issue is design - go into the brain of a user and think from there:
A user expects a scripting API to work just like the UI - because that's the
only thing they'll know and are comfortable with.

Anyway, probably the wrong list for it. I was just shocked at the code and
had to say something. ;)
