Back to this, providing a screenshotting interface with a default file
sink is a matter of... 30 minutes? I believe extending the
com.canonical.Unity.Screen interface; as long as you decide on a place
to put screenshot files and a default format.
I believe we should provide this right away for QA, the rest of the plan
seems more broad and therefore not really committable to a strict
timeframe. I agree that casting would be great and that we need it, just
not sure if its the right time to slot it into the dev plan.
