I wasn't aware of this... can you summarise (or post a link to) the
issues in the reshape/split tools? There was a lot of issues with this
fixed in 2.12, and I'm not aware of any outstanding (reported) ones.

I'd also like to point out that reimplementing these in c++ would
allow them to be reused by other (non-processing) plugins too. There's
also likely a considerable speed boost possible from this approach.
