Great!
Do we have examples of such tools and code bases structured to accommodate them that we'd like to use for reference, or at least for inspiration?
+1 on that. It would be helpful to see successful examples. Especially ones written in C.
I can't really figure out what success looks like just from reading the descriptions.
