Yes

API extension I'd say. The default implementation would be {}.

From what I can see in QgsVectorLayer, you cannot call addFeature(),
addFeatures(), changeAttributeValue(), deleteFeature(), deleteFeatures(),
etc.. if there's no mEditBuffer active. And the only way to have one active is
to call startEditing() before. So unless I'm missing something, it doesn't
look like you can do changes to a dataset without doing them between
startEditing() and commitChanges()/rollBack()
