Hello Pierre, Thank you for sharing your idea!
I wanted to ask, which phase is your idea currently? Do you have something working locally, or have you tried? If you can make something working and share it as a patch, we can then look at it and think of structure etc. The patch doesn't have to be perfect from the very beginning, especially if you are looking for guidance and open to advice and comments. Sometimes patches get transformed a lot during code review. If you can try to put what's in your head into a code and make it work (your second paragraph)? What do you think?
