Yeah I am aware
I wasn't at all suggesting that Sigil go down that route, as you say it is much less practical for a multi-platform C++ application than a Python one. My point was that it gives tinkerers an outlet to add their pet feature rather than pestering the devs about it.
Then again I also frequently make other mods to the source code and run locally as I have done with both Sigil and Calibre - yes only I get the "benefits" of my changes but it is harmless to anyone else

Hopefully the positive responses here in this thread so far go some way to a first step on allowing you to keep holding the reins a while longer.
