I'm not stuck on the term API, but the stuff that I outlined there is  
stuff that I added to the new GUI code specifically to support  
plugins, rather than internal needs.  Of course, being Tcl, a plugin  
can override really anything, so all of the GUI code can't really be  
called the API, tho it could be changed by a plugin.

Does that make sense?
