A call for inter-plugin communication

Hey Folks, I've been wondering why most of the plugins for LC do not publish an API that developers (and other plugins) can call. Since the addition of dispatch, plugin developers could provide an API in the form of dispatchable calls, it would be great. The plugins could dispatch some calls to a

Simulating touch messages on desktop - what do the smart kids do?
