I implemented such a module quite some time ago, it's not very hard

more like an "advanced tutorial" for coding your own module.
The idea was to create a module that would replace the pixels from your
current image with pixels from another pipeline and then exploit
multi-instance and parametric masks to do some crazy things

problem, as usual, is in the details. You need to deal with cycles, image
management etc... and I'm already doing all the lua stuf...

I still think this is overall a good idea and like to see it coming....
it's a very "DT" way of dealing with the kind of things other software do
using layers
