Although this is true, we clearly do not expose all the internals, and
we also don't offer extension points everywhere.

There is no document listed on what you can and cannot do, but to answer
your questions: You can modify the menus. You can also modify the key
bindings (at least most of them), but you can also do that without a
plugin since they rely on gtk+ rc files or gtk accel maps. There are no
extension points for modifying dialog boxes. For example, you can't
modify the search/replace dialog box from a plugin.
