This proposal doesn't actually alter any of the current editing tools
- rather it exposes a new way to use (certain) processing algorithms
to edit features in place -- such as separating a multipart feature
into single part features (or reversing line direction, translating
features, repairing geometries, etc).

Feedback and suggestions are definitely welcome!
