You still have to define them, which means that you have to store
them in a script. But this is exactly the sort of thing I envisage.
Some lfuns are more complex of course. For example
"bibtex-database-add" no longer exists, but the script could invoke
something like
"server-export bibtex" # to output the contents of
# the inset through the lyx pipe.
Manipulate this data as it sees fit
"inset-modify bibtex <data>"
It seems complex, but it's actually giving the user a LOT more power
whilst removing ad-hoc lfuns from the LyX core.
Which reminds me. I should write the "server-export" lfun ;-)
