I've put more comments on the wiki (should have waited until I thought
more about this), but just a patch to api2_2/MTex.c will suffice; the
only way I can think of doing implementing "myMaterial.texture[0].ipo"
is with a new IPO type (or fake IPO wrapper) "MTex" and would involve
many more changes than the four new Ipo and Ipocurve methods I'd suggested.
Of course, since the issue is ease-of-use and intuitive representation
to the Python users, if an "MTex" IPO type is the way to go I can code
up a demo.
