I do not think so. GIMP/scrip-fu is lacking a way to apply arbitrary
available GEGL operations to a drawable. For the cases where GEGL
operations have taken over the load from gimp-plugins, GIMP developers
have added PDB wrappers/integration for each op, similar to how it had
to be done with plug-ins. To expose the above operations to script-fu
either more PDB wrappers need to be written or a generic mechanism to
invoke a GEGL op (this will be better for the future; since it means
less boiler plate code needed in many places in GIMP for each bit of
added functionality.)
