What about implement GDAL geocoding capabilities in core?
It should probably be implemented as an expression function too...
http://www.gdal.org/ogr__geocoding_8h.html
See: http://www.itopen.it/geocoding-with-gdal/
I don't see any real opportunity to merge the plugins: some of them are
very specific to national geocoders, some other just ignore the TOS of the
webservices they use.
