[Inkscape-devel] gears Path effect

I just saw this in this video. Somehow I did not notice it before :( - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTbYHmQkY9w - generates a meshing gear at each point on the path and remains editable (of course)

Is it possible for me to redirect its "gear" call to the new gears plugin here: https://github.com/jnweiger/inkscape-gears-dev

Is it envisaged in the future to allow this to be python scriptable (I assume its all embedded c at the moment) ?
