Hi Ingmar!

Great post!

Hmm, why not.

Definitely! Although this is not as simple as one would think. But I'll 
think about it. If you have any clever idea of how this could be done in 
  a comprehensible manner, let me know...

Yes. Right now the kickstarter is very difficult to extend, because all 
of its logic resides in only few, but very huge methods. This is going 
to change. I will also place some hooks inside the most relevant 
mechanisms to facilitate extending the class.

That would also be nice, but we have to keep an eye on 
backwards-compatibility. But it's on the list!


Rock on!
