I had not anticipated such a hot welcome. I did not set out to write an extension that would complement, compete with, extend, or replace Guides creator....  For the most part, I wrote the scripts... extension in response to a comment made on the Inkscape-user forum.

Thanks too, for explaining. I have enjoyed your feedback, even if I do not always understand it.

I hope to see the diagrams.

I feel I should say that the plugin is great as-is as well, and I'll continue to enjoy using it, regardless of if it gets included in the current extensions set that ships with Inkscape (most don't, and it takes a lot of consensus to get new ones added, which is why I suggested some of the compatible features might be merged).

I hope you don't mind my suggestions. It's mainly that the current guides extension that ships is lacking, especially in the diagonal guides tab, which your plugin features ample (and enviable) controls. 
I may go in myself and add some of the missing features to the existing extension for consideration.
 
I'll work up a few UI flow diagrams, and see if I can produce something reasonable.

Thanks again for your work.

Are you not trying to merge chalk and cheese?

I fully get that you don't want to add a 'whole new one'. It (Guides creator...) is what it is, which is a static layout tool, based on compositional theory. I do not want to change it, I like it the way it is, and if as a result, guides... doesn't ship, then I will live with that. I would prefer that outcome, to a 'Frankenscience' disaster, and I believe that trying to develop Guides creator... will turn out to be nightmare.

Do you know the one about the man, who asks for directions? He got the reply, 'Well, if I were you, I wouldn't start from here.'?

BTW, I have been road testing another exciting new feature for the guides... extension. I think you will like it.

Check out the plugin:
Extensions > Render > Guides Creator...

I'd rather see your features added to this extension rather than having a whole new one.

Martin was being silly when saying "frankenscience" repo. Indeed, that's not what I want.

There is already a guides extension that ships with Inkscape that has most of the features of yours.
Your code could be used as part of this existing extension as a staple tool of Inkscape and not yet one more extension that will eventually be lost in the sea of Inkscape extensions. 

There's an opportunity here to patch the existing extension to add your new features to it.
It's up to you though.

I hope to never turn out a frenkenscience repo. So guides... won't ship.

The soon to be released update version, provides a few minor adjustments, and improvements including a fresh UI.
