hook codes for gnome shell

[rastersoft <raster rastersoft com>]

Hi all:

Now that you are commenting the problems about the extension review 
process, I think that maybe it is time to make this proposal: to create 
a "gnome shell api", or "hook codes" that allow to extensions to do 
common tasks. Examples are "add a widget to the upper bar", "Hide the 
Activities button", "Disable hot spots", "Enter/exit Activities mode"... 
I created an extension some time ago, and the way of doing these have 
changed several times since gnome shell 3.0. Having several functions 
that do these common things would allow to reduce the work for reviewing 
extensions, because new versions of gnome shell are less probable to 
break compatibility with old extensions.

What do you think?
