right, you want G71 to be always present, then you ship the interpreter with 
that extensions and any other you deem essential - that's like stock plugins

nothing keeps us from defining extension sets like 'packaged', say 'recommended 
for lathe',  'recommended for mill', 'experimental', or whatever categories

interfaces right now: if it is possible in Python, it will be picked up 
eventually - not everybody, but quite a few nevertheless; if it is C++, it will 
not happen
