Though I'm not sure we can say for sure that this is the way to go
(TM) because noone has ever written a binding for a extension, in
theory it would run somewhat leaner because you could run only one
interpreter to handle all objects, as opposed to interpreters for each
individual applet on the panel. I'd be interested to see if this runs
better that way (should Gavin want to write such a thing) for future
Plasma development. However, he's surely going to run into the problem
where he wants to bind a child panel and thats basically impossible
because its all in core.. but the single vs multiple interpreters
would still be very interesting..
