It seems to be OK.

Yes, and it is could be used to avoid dups when copying topic/page
trees in Admin site (will be in 1.2.6).

This could be done in several ways:
1) Creating additional table 'CodeSnippets' where snippets could be
organized under tree structure and adding special PHP function
mgd_include_snippet('path/to/snippet-name'); then all functions
defined in 'snippet-name' will be available in script context.
2) Extending midgard-lib by modules support and allowing people to
bind mission critic functions written as external C code. This
repositary could be also accessed using function
mgd_extension('path/to/extension-name', arguments); where format of
arguments would be specified during extension's binding using usuall
midgard vformat() syntax ($q,$d, etc) but this will work for
non-object types only.
It seems to me that latter approach will appear somewhere in 2.0 land
but also both extension schemes could co-exist. I'll probably try to
add (1) into 1.2.6 if other developers will agree with this.
