Bottom line - switch to Gimp-Perl!

IS it available throught the PDB?
Most GIMP - Python functions are done via PDB, except pixel-region
manipulation stuff.
If it is not in the PDB, it is not availabl in GIMP 2.8 - the current
GIMP Python structure has to
special cases a lot of things to work aside from the PDB, and doing so
is not minor stuff
done inside a release cycle.

Making the 3-4 above calls are straightforward - I see no reason to
violate the principle of no new features inside a release to add this.
In GIMP 2.10, the export feature will also have to deal with precision
management, and besides this export function, a class of PDB calls
dealing with precision needs
to be added as well.
