Yup. Been arguing for this since pretty much day one (ie, a rendering/UI
component == "renderactor"; should be in the archieves) and an external
manipulation interface for use by external engines (not necessarily **just**
languages). If objects have events, which are mapped to handlers in the external
application, the loop is complete ...

I'm not even sure if the way the interface is implemented is that important; it
can vary platform-platform ...
