[Inkscape-devel] Accessing individual nodes in a path

Hi,

for a couple of applications I have in mind it would be very desirable if one was able to access and refer to individual nodes in a path in a way that is unaffected by future insertion/deletion of other nodes (in much the same way as accessing the members of a linked list is unaffected by insertion/deletion of other elements).

How easy would it be to achieve this, especially considering the change of path representations to 2geom? What would be necessary to implement it? Can this be easily integrated into existing path representations?
