Yes, I noticed this [3] last night after I tried adding it myself. 
Efficiency [1] is also a problem, and I noticed a significant speed 
decrease when I implemented it in practice. Compatibility [2] is also an 
issue, though perhaps less critical than the other two, as I can always 
check to see what version of QGIS someone is using...

Hmm, any other possible solutions? What about the rest of the devs: any 
ideas?

Thanks for your work on this so far Martin,

Carson
